Out-of-Town Tours: Architectural Highlights of Chicago
October 23-27, 2013 |
In fall 2013 Historic Seattle offers an exciting tour to Chicago showcasing the architectural wealth of the city-- Romanesque, Gothic Revival, Classical Beaux Arts, Prairie School, and modern. We will see the best known works of Henry Hobbs Richardson, Henry Ives Cobb, Adler and Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, George Maher, Daniel Burnham, Mies van der Rohe and others whose work inspired domestic, commercial, and civic architecture throughout America. Experience splendid interior spaces gloriously displaying glass mosaic, stained glass, hand carved wood and stone, cast metal, and ceramics. There will be time to explore the remarkable collections of the Art Institute of Chicago. Local presenters and guides will provide insights during a series of walking and driving tours. And of course we will dine well in suitably historic and architecturally significant spaces.
The Chicago tour dates are tentative and subject to change. Preliminary itinerary available upon request.
