Tour

Determine for yourself why design matters as we view unexpected architecture in the Near North section of the River North neighborhood. We see the recently completed Poetry Foundation building, learn about universal design and visit a decades-old speakeasy. Near North's former Italian immigrants constructed their first Italian parish in Chicago here and thriving businesses throughout this commercial district continue to this day. Share a pint or two with us along the way.
