The Architecture / History Section of this new website is still being developed. Please visit it again in a few weeks when we will post expanded information and dozens of historic and recent photos of the Cultural Center. In the meantime, please enjoy this text from The People’s Palace: The Story of the Chicago Cultural Center, published by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs in 1999. Please note that the book is out of print, and also that the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs retains all rights to the book. No part of the contents may be reproduced without the written permission of the publisher.
