Periodically we take the South Shore Line train
from East Chicago station into the city.
We went in June to the
Chicago Art Institute, The Rookery, Board of Trade and Theatre District
Outside the Chicago Art Institute stands
two lions. Most often they'll be wearing
a jersey or hat to celebrate winning sports
seasons.
Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 the Rookery was
designed by famous architectural partners Burnham and Root, the picturesque Rookery was originally completed in 1888. Adding to its impressive stature, Frank Lloyd Wright redesigned the stunning two-story, skylit lobby in 1905. Meticulously renovated and maintained, The Rookery stands as one of the most highly recognized addresses in all of Chicago.
This building is also home to
the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation
Next stop Board of Trade and on
to the Theatre District.
