About

Once called Chicago's "Other Loop", Uptown was home to the heights of entertainment and excess in the 1920s. Architects used the newest technologies to make sparkling buildings in historic styles as Chicagoans flocked to Uptown to drink, dine, and take in a motion picture before the crash of 1929. Uptown's story didn't end there, however - after the Depression, Uptown became a landing place for new Chicagoans from around America and the world and architects in the mid-century and today continue to bring gorgeous, innovative buildings to the neighborhood. Go beyond the 1920s with this tour that celebrates the stories and the stuff that have made Uptown one of the most beautiful and unexpected places in Chicago.

After this tour you’ll never look at Chicago or the humble brick in the same way again!

The tour will run, rain or shine (barring extreme weather). I recommend bringing a water bottle, sunscreen, and maybe a trusty hat!
