“One of the better examples in Chicago of how historic infrastructure can be reused intelligently instead of being turned into a gimmick”

Well I simply didn’t get it. Not sure if it was closed or I didn’t find the right door.
Not impressed by food court.

“Open to the public historical building not far from downtown.”
Open to the public historical building not far from downtown. Ideal for casual photo shoots and meetings. The food court inside is amazing with plenty healthy options and a lot of indoor and outdoor seating.

If you can't get past the security to view upstairs.... These pictures will show you that it is one amazingly beautiful place. Private parties and staff get to enjoy the lovely roof top deck that is filled with so much foliage and plenty of balcony seating. There are several banquet locations through the floors that space out full round bars. Lobby area when you first walk in had a Walgreens and a few restaurants. Nice tour spot!

“Stepping inside, the contrast is breathtaking, modern lines and sleek surfaces juxtaposed against the aged exterior.”
Stepping inside, the contrast is breathtaking, modern lines and sleek surfaces juxtaposed against the aged exterior. The weathered facade hints at stories of the past, while the interior whispers of contemporary comforts. This harmonious blend of old and new creates a uniquely appealing space. It's a testament to innovative design, seamlessly merging different eras. The result is a dwelling that honors its history while embracing the present.

I went here for a private event and it was very cool! The building is beautiful inside and made for a great venue. The music was a bit loud and made it hard to hear others, but that likely wasn't the fault of the venue.

“I was so surprised I made a full post robber all the way to Thorndale and under 25 minutes.”
I was so surprised I made a full post robber all the way to Thorndale and under 25 minutes. I probably made it there faster than Jane Burns so I would say Jane Byrne not old post office.

We talk the Chicago archfiend z Center tour. The place is awesome. It's history, architectural beauty and it's significance to the Chicago story were all well brought out by the docent. Is a gem and I recommend it highly.
