“Open House Chicago will give people a chance to get a close-up look at some of the city’s most architecturally interesting buildings and locations when it returns.

“Open House Chicago will run Oct. 15-16 with more than 150 architecturally, culturally and historically significant sites around the city for participants to explore, according to the Chicago Architecture Center, which organizes the popular event.

“There will also be self-guided tours of some locations starting Oct. 1 and lasting throughout the month.

“The tours will highlight buildings in more than 20 community areas, including Chatham and Hermosa, which have sites participating for the first time.

“A full list of participating sites with hours and addresses is on the Open House Chicago website.

“People can use the new Chicago Architecture Center app for exclusive experiences and self-guided tours of some sites, according to the center. There’s also in-app recommendations for restaurants, coffee shops, unique sites and stores in participating Open House Chicago neighborhoods.” (McDonald, Block Club Chicago, 9/26/22)
