Description:
A stunner. Chicago history lies in rest here, from the major names (Burnham, Sullivan, Field, Pullman, Mies) to the footnotes (Charles Dickens’ obscure brother Augustus). Some credit Sullivan’s 1890 design for the Getty Tomb as the opening act of modern architecture. (And Inez Clarke’s grave is one of the most famous haunted spots in Chicago.) The new (and warm) office can supply a map for the grounds, which are quite large. Come with time to wander.
