Enter the Chicago Board of Trade and be amazed by polished surfaces and black and white marble. Learn some fun and interesting fact about the construction and its history. If you are an art or architecture buff, this tour is just for you.
The Rookery Building

Visit the masterpiece of Danial Burnham and John Wellborn, which was built in 1888. Be amazed by the beautiful and spacious light court that provides daylight for the offices inside the building. Explore the eye-opening details of the interior, oriel staircase, and interesting innovations of that time. Learn why the building was spared during the redevelopment and reconstruction of the Loop district, remaining a wonderful architectural landmark of the 19th century. Be provided with a lot of information from your guide who knows the place so well, you'll discover stuff, not even the locals know.
