Chicago Architecture Foundation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chicago Architecture Foundation is a nonprofit group in Chicago, Illinois, USA, dedicated to increasing the public's understanding of architecture and design. It is well-known in Chicago for its public programs.

The Chicago Architecture Foundation was founded in 1966 to save H. H. Richardson's Glessner House, one of Chicago's oldest residences. A few years later, they began to offer lectures and volunteer-led tours of Chicago to the public. At present, it still offers these, and also shows exhibits to the public. In addition, it provides educational material for the primary and secondary school system.
