Everyone loves Art Deco, with all the elegance, glam, and glitz of the 1920s and 1930s. This 2-hour walking tour explores the interiors and exteriors of gorgeous buildings from this surprisingly brief architectural period in Chicago, with some interesting details and stories about life in that era. Flappers, gangsters, jazz, speakeasies — we'll pepper those throughout our larger exploration of Chicago's magnificent Art Deco buildings in order to truly set the context for you!
You’ll walk in the footsteps of those high on the potential of the future, before the infamous Crash of ‘29. You’ll understand why the Art Deco style is so timeless — why even for us, it has a stunning beauty that inspires us to this day. You’ll learn to look at this architectural style especially as a form of “marketing” for the ambitious people inside; you’ll put yourselves in the shoes of people whose focus was on the future, and whose architecture showed it.
Fall back in time, and enjoy these interior spaces reminiscent of Metropolis, The Great Gatsby, and even Gotham City (we’ll explain that one…). Staying almost entirely within the downtown Loop neighborhood, we’ll explore the elegance of this fascinating period in Chicago's history.
