Things to do in Chicago, IL - Chicago Attractions

• Robie House
  An ingenious concept in controlling light is one of the best examples of a prairie style type architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright made in 1909. Brilliantly designed with horizontal lines, balconies and stained glass windows  mark Wright's unique signature. Designing the rooms so that they are energy efficient while keeping out direct sunlight and not allowing the rooms to be dark was no small task for Wright. Unfortunately, this is one of the last remaining contributions of this renown genius. 
  
  
• Union Station
  Capturing the essence of a by-gone era are many snap-shots taken by photographers of this great hall now an historic American landmark. Helping to define Chicago as it is today are historic sites such as the Union Station. In its heyday, travelers from every part passed through this station which serviced 300 trains and 10,000 passengers each day. Few places can make the statement "Chicago" like Union Station with long rows of wooden benches, Corinthian pillars, and beautiful bronze accents.
