The Chicago Architecture Center offers an Art Deco Skyscrapers: The Loop walking tour in Chicago.

The Carbide and Carbon Building in Chicago is my favorite building. The Carbide & Carbon Building is a an Art Deco high rise built in 1929. The black granite, green terra-cotta, and gold building and modeled after a champagne bottle on Michigan Avenue. The building was designed by the Burnham Brothers. Most famously, Daniel Burnham who designed the Flatiron building in NYC. Also, Daniel was an architect for the “White City,” or the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.

















A great tour if you are into Architecture and/or Art Deco.
