  • Duncan's Toy Chest!

  • Thanks for this view. As a student at Roosevelt University back in the 70's I wrote a paper comparing and contrasting 3 buildings by John Root, and later Burnham and Root; The Monadnock, Building, The Rookery, and the Railway Exchange Building. The Rookery is a marvel. Since that time, the paint was removed from the skylight, letting natural light flood the lobby. Wonderful! I never got a view of the staircase because visitors weren't allowed up there.

  • @Empire Chris. Fabulous job! You really showed the essence of this most wonderful of Chicago Loop office buildings. I really like the way you contrasted that stodgy old Greek Revival bank building across the street with the strong, unique red brick beauty of the Rookery. That lobby is a dream, even on a grey cloudy day. The warmth of the interior lighting creates an interesting contrast with the cool natural light coming through the skylight. Your camera work is nice and steady too. More..
