Designed in the beaux-arts style by the Boston firm Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge, the Chicago Cultural
Center was completed in 1897 and dedicated as the city's original Chicago Public Library. Completed at a
cost of nearly $2 million, this remarkable monument was inspired by the neo-classical style of the World's
Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893.
The building's structure consists of three-foot thick masonry walls faced with Bedford limestone that is set
104 feet above a granite base. Sumptuous materials used in the interior design include rare imported
marbles, fine hardwood, stained-glass, and polished brass, as well as mosaics of Favrile glass, colored stone
and mother-of-pearl. The building's most notable features are its spectacular stained-glass domes. The 38-
foot dome in the Preston Bradley Hall in the south end of the building is the world's largest Tiffany stained-
glass dome, valued at an estimated $35 million. In the north end of the building, the stained-glass dome in
the G.A.R. Rotunda was executed in an intricate Renaissance pattern
Bejeweled Preston Bradley Hall is the Chicago Cultural Center's major concert hall and civic reception
area, a spectacular setting for regular public programs and private parties, meetings, and receptions.
G.A.R. Rotunda and Memorial Hall is exquisite gathering places available for public exhibitions,
performances and private events. The area also serves as an alternative to Marriage Court for Saturday
morning civil wedding ceremonies.
The Sidney R. Yates Gallery and Exhibit Hall display major art exhibitions, the Michigan Avenue
Galleries showcase works in more intimate spaces, and the Chicago Rooms are used for special
exhibitions.
