Tour
Art Deco: Landmark Lobbies
Step out of the cold and into the lobbies of three Art Deco skyscrapers whose lavish materials and modern ornament epitomized the prosperity and optimism of the Roaring ‘20s.
All of the buildings on this 1-hour tour are located within 1½ blocks of the Chicago Architecture Center. The shorter walking distance allows for longer viewing time inside the faithfully restored lobbies of three landmark Art Deco buildings and, for comparison, one neo-classical building. Offered only in January and February, this tour offers less exposure to the elements and more exposure to the glamour and history of some of Chicago’s best Art Deco buildings.
