edit Title
Chicago Architecture Foundation - 312.922.3432
edit Description
Because no art other than architecture so vividly expresses what Chicago is and where it is going, CAF will educate the public to expect the highest standards from Chicago's built environment.
Architects and preservationists founded the Chicago Architecture Foundation in 1966 to save H. H. Richardson's Glessner House, one of Chicago's oldest residences. The fight to save it increased awareness of Chicago's architecture.
A few years later, CAF began to present lectures and tours led by dedicated volunteers. Its first downtown location was a shop in the landmark Monadnock Building, which was replaced by the ArchiCenter in the Santa Fe Building on South Michigan Avenue and a second shop in the John Hancock Center.
