Chicago Walking Tour: Historiska skyskrapor
Beskrivning
Chicago är hem för några av världens tidigaste skyskrapor. Få en närmare titt på dessa 1800-talsunderverk, lär dig om innovationer som användes för att bygga dem och upptäck hur de förvandlade Chicago till ett centrum för skyskrapor design och ingenjörskonst. Höjdpunkterna på denna vandring inkluderar Burnham och Root's Rookery (1888), en övergångsbyggnad med en morisk och romansk exteriör och ett fantastiskt inre atrium omdesignat av Frank Lloyd Wright; Adler och Sullivans Auditorium Building (1889), ett mästerverk inom akustisk och konstruktionsteknik; och Holabird and Roche's Marquette Building (1895), ett enastående exempel på metallramens uttryck med traditionella detaljer och dekorationer.

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!
