Our Next Event "320 Oakdale Tour"
Sunday, June 8, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Don’t miss our next event:
Join CBB for a tour of the unique boutique all-glass highrise
on Oakdale and Inner Lakeshore Drive
Designed in 1951 by the 26 year old fledgling architect, Milton Schwartz, 320 Oakdale is known for its distinctive and playful Atomic-age profile. The building’s original extra large Neutra-inspired machined aluminum and glass sliding windows are set off by Wright influenced horizontal "eyelids" denoting each floor. Schwartz went on to build numerous other mid-century buildings, as well as the 1950s incarnation of the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas, but he remained a life-long owner of one of 320’s double unit penthouses until his passing last year. Join CBB as we tour three units, each with distinctive layouts and views, one a double penthouse unit featured in a variety of architectural magazines. We’ll end the tour in our CBB members’ 17th floor unit where we will enjoy views of the lake, the harbors, the park, and Navy Pier along with a variety of mid-century paintings and furnishings and a cocktail party.
