It once looked as though the stunning architectural details of Chicago's Old Post Office would be lost to time while the building sat vacant for almost two decades. But the 2.5 million-square-foot building, originally completed in 1921 and expanded in 1932, recently went through a monumental renovation and now serves as a modern multi-use event and office space that meets today's need for large, light-filled work spaces.

See how historic artifacts and building details have been creatively incorporated into the Old Post Office's design and tenant suites. Old places can become new spaces when a developer with vision collaborates with an award-winning architectural team.
