Explore the foyers of five lavish Art Deco towers constructed near the Chicago River’s shores during the commercial surge of the Roaring ‘20s. Understand how Art Deco embodied the period’s spirited optimism through its use of sumptuous materials and geometric adornment. Uncover the roots of Art Deco whilst appreciating edifices like the Carbide and Carbon Building (now Pendry Chicago), the Chicago Motor Club Building (now the Hampton Inn) and the vibrant, yet often disregarded, Trustees System Service Building (now the Century Tower)—all recognized as Chicago landmarks. As a certified nonprofit, all CAC ticket acquisitions directly fund our educational activities and community outreach initiatives.
