Chicago is de thuisbasis van enkele van 's werelds vroegste wolkenkrabbers. Bekijk deze 19e-eeuwse wonderen van dichtbij, leer over innovaties die werden gebruikt om ze te bouwen en ontdek hoe ze Chicago hebben getransformeerd tot een centrum van wolkenkrabberontwerp en engineering. Hoogtepunten van deze wandeltocht zijn Burnham en Root's Rookery (1888), een overgangsgebouw met een Moorse en Romaanse buitenkant en een prachtig binnenatrium dat opnieuw is ontworpen door Frank Lloyd Wright; Adler en Sullivan's Auditorium Building (1889), een meesterwerk van akoestische en bouwtechniek; en Holabird en Roche's Marquette Building (1895), een uitstekend voorbeeld van de metalen frame-expressie met traditionele details en decoraties. Als gecertificeerde non-profitorganisatie ondersteunen alle aankopen van CAC-tickets rechtstreeks onze onderwijsinspanningen en projecten voor gemeenschapsbetrokkenheid.

Excellent tour of some historic skyscrapers in downtown Chicago. The docent was very knowledgeable about the history of skyscrapers and was able to point out building details that I would have missed on my own. Highly recommend.

Anthony was an excellent guide, made the history of the buildings come alive! Now I see all the elements we discussed referenced in so many buildings all around Chicago. LOVED the inside and outside aspects, the hidden lobby gems!

This was a wonderful tour of Chicago's First Skyscrapers. Our tour guide was great! We visited the Auditorium Theater building, the Marquette Building, the Monadnock Building, the Rookery Building, the Fisher Building, the Manhattan Building, and a couple of others. Our guide told us about load-bearing buildings versus metal-frame buildings, beams and spandrels, the importance of windows (particularly bay windows) for light and ventilation, and much more.
We're so happy you enjoyed the tour and appreciate the great review!
