This is one of the oldest still standing buildings in Chicago Loop. The entrance in the lobby is free and it's really worth it. Inside there is also a brief history of the Loop's lost iconic buildings.
Worth popping in just to see the beautiful glass mosaics depicting the early encounters between French-Canadian settlers and the Native Americans.
The Marquette Building was built in 1895 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and the National Historic Landmark list in 1976. This is a beautiful building with a lot of rich history. This is a must see when you are in Chicago. I would love to get a inside tour of this building.
The Marquette Building is a gem, hidden in plain sight! The Tiffany mosaic and the bronzes of early European explorers and native Chiefs, is not to be missed. It is open 24/7 and is home to Revival Food Hall.
Love architecture? If so please don't miss the opportunity to see the Marquette building. Go inside view the lobby and the museum. Quite the stunning blast from the past. Exquisite mosaics surround the lobby and the attention to detail. Wow!
It’s a really historic building.
On my first day in Chicago, I decided to take myself on a walking tour of the historical buildings near my hotel, the Parker House Hilton. The Marquette was my first stop. From an architectural and historic standpoint, the Marquette is an important stop and worth taking the time to enjoy. Especially the mosaics by Tiffany, they'll take your breath away.
