Mies van der Rohe His­toric Dis­trict, bet­ter known as Lafayette Park, is a large park and com­plex of apart­ments designed by Mies van der Rohe just east of down­town. With their sim­plic­i­ty, clean pro­por­tions, and cladding of tint­ed glass and alu­minum, the apart­ment build­ings of Lafayette Park are clas­sic exam­ples of Mies van der Rohe’s Inter­na­tion­al Style.
