Come see some of the great architectural landmarks of State Street and Michigan Avenue from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This was a time when Chicago was determined to be a great cultural, as well as commercial, city as evidenced and encouraged by the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition. You’ll see buildings by Burnham, Sullivan, Holabird and Roche and other noted architects - including the Reliance Building, Carson Pirie Scott & Co., the Chicago Cultural Center, the Palmer House and the famous Michigan Avenue. You’ll visit beautiful interior treasures that even many Chicagoans don’t know exist. You will hear the stories behind these architectural gems and the men and women who have added so much to the commercial and cultural life of this city. As icing on the cake, this tour also touches on Millennium Park, Chicago’s exciting new 21st century park, outdoor gallery, garden and music venue.
