In the foyer, you will find the mahogany wood from the original Pump Room. There are two ballot boxes that were used for Chicago mayoral elections from the 1920s through the 1950s. Raoul Varin Prints offer a bird’s-eye view of Chicago’s landscape during the 1880s.
You will also find an 1880s pencil sketch of great Chicagoan Andrew McNally, one of the founders of the Rand McNally Atlas company. Peek through historic books from Chicago’s Newberry Library and enjoy caricatures by artist Chuck Senties of ten scandalous or rogue individuals who had a significant impact on Chicago history.
