Udforsk den nye gamle posthusbygning, hvis design fra det tidlige 20. århundrede er blevet adaptivt genbrugt til en smuk, moderne klasse A kontorbygning. Det virkede engang, som om de fantastiske arkitektoniske detaljer i Chicagos gamle postkontor ville gå tabt, mens bygningen stod tom i næsten to årtier. Men den 2,8 millioner kvadratmeter store bygning, der stod færdig i 1934, gennemgik for nylig en monumental renovering og fungerer nu som et moderne multi-anvendelige event- og kontorlokale, der opfylder nutidens behov for store, lyse arbejdsrum. Se, hvordan historiske artefakter og bygningsdetaljer er blevet kreativt indarbejdet i det gamle postkontors design, herunder omdannelsen af taget til en 3,5 hektar stor bypark på taget. Gamle steder kan blive til nye rum, når en udvikler med vision samarbejder med et prisvindende arkitektteam.
Gæster vil besøge det indre af den gamle postkontorbygning på W Van Buren Street, diskutere bygningens historie og dens renovering til et moderne kontorlokale og lære, hvad adaptiv genbrug er, og hvorfor det er vigtigt. Gæsterne vil se hovedlobbyen, "Zig-zag-væggen", "postkortvæggen" og tagsengen.
Tour guide Alice was marvelous. She was animated, energetic, personable, and incredibly well – informed. Would highly recommend both the fascinating tour and her leadership.
Thank you for the great review! We're so happy you enjoyed the tour of the Old Post Office. It really is a spectacular building! We appreciate the kind words and hope to see you on more tours soon.
Such an interesting tour led by Alice ... She has a wonderful personality and her vast knowledge gave me a deep appreciation of its history... The building is magnificent... She was built for heavy duty work, almost left to crumble, but was revived into magnificent building housing many modern companies... How could you not want to go to work every day... The amenities for the workers are absolutely top-notch...
Thank you for the wonderful review! The Old Post Office is a stunning building and we're delighted you enjoyed learning about it with Alice. We hope to see you on more tours soon!
I learned so much, I will need to take this tour again! I live in Chicago and had never been in the renovated Old Post Office - it is stunning! Because we were on the tour, we had access to the amenities on the 2nd floor AND the rooftop. This is a great thing to do with out-of-town guests.

Seeing the renovation of the post office was a treat from the oppulent art deco entry to the roof top garden and everything in between. Our guide Alice was exceptionally knowledgeable and made the tour facinating, informative and fun. I hoghly recommend this tour and Alce as docent.

Alice was an excellent and energetic tour guide through this wonderful example of an adaptive (but expensive) reuse of the Old Post Office. Alice’s descriptions bridged the past to the present with interesting insight about the methods of mail handling in Chicago and its contribution to the USA.

This tour was fabulous. The guide was knowledgeable and provided a great overview of the history of the building. Many of the original art deco elements were retained and then incorporated into the modern redesign. Chef’s kiss! Make sure to go up to see the rooftop space.

Informative tour that tells about the history of the building and how they integrate the history back into the renovation.
