Michigan Avenue: Chicago's Landmark Streetwall

Enjoy the "streetwall," a landmark district of skyscrapers stretching for 13-blocks along Michigan Avenue, providing a magnificent vista for visitors to the new Millennium Park. This collection of buildings represents the work of many notable early Chicago architects and a variety of styles, including Beaux Arts, Venetian Gothic and French Revival. Find out what forces helped shape this unique street which continues to evolve. Learn about the adaptive reuse of older buildings for residential, educational and entertainment purposes and the addition of a stylish contemporary building with glass-faceted facade, all in keeping with the guidelines of landmark preservation.
