Program
CAC Live: Virtual Walking Tour: East Hyde Park
Chicago is well-known as “the city of neighborhoods.” Join CAC docents Maria Corpuz and John Hug on a virtual stroll through their South Side neighborhood, East Hyde Park, an area filled with architectural treasures old and new.
This program will be hosted on Zoom. Approximately 3 hours before the start of the program, you will receive a link directly from Zoom with details about how to access and view it.
If you do not receive your link 2 hours prior to the start of the event, please contact tickets@architecture.org. Please note, if you do not contact us at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the program, we cannot guarantee admittance.
All within a three-block stroll from their home, Corpuz and Hug highlight structures built prior to the 1893 World’s Fair along with beautiful low-rise Art Deco buildings, Mies van der Rohe’s first high-rise and more recent neighborhood additions, such as Solstice on the Park (2018) by Studio Gang.
Program Speakers: Maria Corpuz and John Hug
Maria Corpuz and her husband, John Hug, have been CAC docents for more than 20 years. Included in the many tours they give are walking tours of Hyde Park and Kenwood. Their own neighborhood, East Hyde Park, offers a wealth of great buildings and fascinating history but no dedicated tour—until this virtual stroll online. Corpuz is in pediatrics at UChicago Medicine and has walked to work daily for 40 years. Hug is retired from a career in finance and continues to teach at DePaul University.
