Spent the day looking for this iconic piece and finally found it. The Chicago Theatre was built in 1921 and was originally named the Balaban and Katz Chicago Theatre. This building has become the unofficial landmark for Chicago representing the rich arts and music culture Chicago is known for. In 1979 the building was added to the list of historic buildings, and later in 1983 was added as an official landmark for the City of Chicago. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/829/d8c03156-c181-4c86-ae96-1a7ac5ea265c.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) State Street 1 min walk \- 0.1 km - ![Art Institute of Chicago featuring interior views and heritage elements](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6064021/6454441c-cc72-4ba5-80af-1a7b33c39f27.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Art Institute of Chicago 6 min walk \- 0.6 km - ![Reflection of a Chicago buildings in a mirror of Chicago Bean, Millennium Park, Chicago city, USA., Shutterstock ID 1129809965, Purchase Order: SP-2109, Order Number: SP-2109 Qantas AU US Sale New Ads](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6069201/dce58962-e3d4-4c61-b924-2acc9b980313.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Millennium Park 8 min walk \- 0.7 km - ![Scene of Chicago street bridge with traffic among modern buildings of Downtown Chicago at Michigan avenue in Chicago, Illinois, United States, Business and Modern Transportation concept](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6156167/9a44be22-322b-4187-8844-e2aa99b46184.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Michigan Avenue 11 min walk \- 1.0 km - Auditorium Building and Theatre 3 min walk \- 0.3 km ### Getting around - Harrison Station 3 min walk - Chicago Van Buren Street Station 4 min walk - Chicago O'Hare Intl.
