Reviews
"What a marvelous building. I was able to get to the top floor of the building, and I was all by myself, so I had ample time to take photos from multiple angles. Love how beautiful the stair is. If you are there to do photography, put your camera on panorama mode or bring wide angle lens to capture the whole beauty."
"Signed up for a guided tour for $15. All proceeds from the tour goes towards the fund. The tour guide was very educated about the history of the building and Chicago. Got to go up the stairs to take some beautiful photos. Well worth the fee."
"The Rookery Building in Chicago is a wedding photographer's paradise. Its luxurious and grand architecture creates an atmosphere of timeless elegance that serves as the perfect backdrop for romantic photos. The intricate detailing, spiral staircases, and ornate ironwork make every corner of this venue a work of art. In a city renowned for its architectural wonders, the Rookery Building stands out as a symbol of Chicago's rich heritage. As a wedding photographer, I can confidently say that it consistently delivers breathtaking images that capture the essence of love and romance. I cannot wait to return to this venue.

"Beautiful architecture! Built in 1888. There is a gallery inside portraying Frank Lloyd Wrights work. He redesigned the 2 story, sky-lit lobby in 1905."
"What a stunning piece of architecture.Anyone can pop inside the lobby and look around for free. But I highly recommend taking The Rookery tour by the FLW Trust if you love architecture. We learned a lot about the building itself and how Frank Lloyd Wright was eventually involved in the designs of the lobby. The details and thoughts put in the work is simply amazing. There is so much light and beauty inside the building.Check out the Ornate staircases inside and the huge glass dome inside the building. And make sure to take a look at the only open pillar of the original building left uncovered by a marble facade.Even the building pillars are a piece of art."
