Francesco PeciaroloDecember 30, 2013During the cold winter in Chicago is the beat place to spend some hours enjoying sales in good shops and great taste and fresh meal in a large list of restaurants
Mike WalekeJune 28, 2018Nice to walk by, worth about a 4 block detour. There is a free photo gallery inside.
Jon SuminskiJune 30, 2015Another must see. Stop while shopping to take in the sight from every angle. It's one of the oldest pieces of architecture really well done.
James GoochAugust 15, 2018Great to see some historical architecture in the middle of town. They should put a historical exhibition inside rather than the current gallery which seemed a bit out of place.
- Jake SmithAugust 30, 2012Miraculously saved from the Great Chicago Fire, this is a distinctive landmark of Old Chicago in the heart of the Magnificent Mile.
M Aldoss ♏May 25, 2015One of Chicago signature Land Marks 👍 you can't miss it if you are in the area !!
Colin RJuly 7, 2013Great Chicago landmark. One of the few buildings that survived the Great Chicago Fire.
- Matt LMay 17, 2010One of my fav Chicago landmarks. Wish they'd do more with the inside though. Maybe some history of the tower and not some lame art exhibit.
Simon KFebruary 24, 2015Nothing on the history of the tower when you go inside. Missing a trick here.
