I Should Have Been an Architect-

A Look at Chicago

Chicago Theater, Cornelius and George Rapp 1921


Chicago Hilton Towers, Holabird & Roche 1927
Renovated by Solomon, Cordwell, Buenz Lasso 1986



Tribune Tower Raymond Hood
John Howell's 1925

Union Station
Grahm, Anderson, Probst and White 1925


Wrigley Building
Graham, Anderson, Probst & White 1924


Harold Washington Library
Hammond, Beeby & Babka 1993

These are old style, however, Chicago has many new modern buildings of interest.
Which new ones do you think our cousins would recommend seeing?
