Now this could only happen in a town like this....

Over 150 significant venues opened their doors to the public for a free weekend on October 13-14. Here are a few of the 25 Open House Chicago sites that I visited:

Conference room, Gottsch Partners Architectural Firm, located on the 17th Floor of the Railway Exchange Building. The left window has a view of Buckingham Fountain and the right window has a view of the Field Museum of Natural History and Soldier Field. (The Gottsch firm was responsible for Soldier Field's renovation and bowl.)

Marquette Building Lobby. They answered that they were Illinois.

Entrance, Marquette Building

Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica

Frank Fisher Apartments

Ganz Hall, Auditorium Building

Sears (not Willis) Tower
