Completed in 1888, it was designed by famous architects Daniel Burnham and John Wellborn Root. Known for its unique "light court," which introduces natural light into the interiors, and stunning ironwork, the Rookery is a prime example of Chicago’s architectural golden age. Not only a stalwart of design, it also incorporates elements by Frank Lloyd Wright, who remodeled the lobby in 1905, infusing his Prairie School aesthetic into the already impressive structure.
