Have you ever walked by a building and thought, I wish I could see what's inside?
Now you can.
The Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) is proud to present the second-annual Open House Chicago, a free, city-wide, behind-the-scenes look at over 150 of the city’s great places and spaces.
Explore repurposed mansions, hidden rooms, sacred spaces, private clubs, iconic theatres, hotels, community murals and more—all for free.
CAF inspires people to discover why design matters, which is why we launched Open House Chicago (OHC). OHC gives you access to buildings that tell the stories of Chicago communities and cultures. By venturing into diverse neighborhoods for self-guided exploration, OHC participants come together to celebrate community and place.
OHC is completely free-of-charge—no registration or reservations are needed. So gather your friends, plan your itinerary and mark your calendar for October 13-14, 2012! Plan your OHC experience
