This tour explores the area in which Chicago first became established as a trading outpost in the 1830s. We will see the commercial, residential and industrial architecture that has developed over 150 years in this historic area. Learn how Art Deco, Chicago Industrial, and Postmodern architecture has adapted and sometimes readapted to a unique geographical location. Wonderful views of river buildings from various angles and perspectives make this tour truly memorable.
