The buildings along LaSalle Street {and Jackson Blvd.} warrant a viewing by any visitor to Chicago. Skip 'North Mich' and head into the Loop and along the River.

I knew I was going to like this space, as spaces by FLW are special (detail, human scale, complex volumes and massing), but nothing prepared me for the delightful beauty.

The Frank Lloyd Wright Trust have an office in the building where you can pick up additional information on the building and I believe they organise tours as well. A must for fans of historic buildings/architecture and well worth a quick look if you happen to be passing by.…
