Event Description

NALP has partnered with the Chicago Architecture Foundation to provide 90-minute walking tours during the 2015 Annual Education Conference. Chicago is the birthplace of the Ferris Wheel, home to the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and where the world's first skyscraper was built. 

Streeterville: From Sandbar to Lakefront Residences (90 mins)
Take a walk along Lake Shore Drive to see the residences of the East Lake Shore Historic District with unobstructed views of Lake Michigan. Learn how the lake shaped the shore line and about a ne’er-do-well tug boat captain who held off the Pinkertons and the city police for almost 30 years while he squatted on a sand bar claiming it as his “District of Lake Michigan.” The buildings along Lake Shore Drive range from the elegance of the 1910s to the modernism of Mies van der Rohe and the post-modern design of Chicago23 French architect Lucien LaGrange. Included is a hidden treasure: a tapestry designed by Marc Chagall in plain view in a lobby.
