Special “Under Construction” Tour *Includes Lunch!

David Charles Whitney selected Daniel Burnham and his firm to design this 19-story building.  Done in the Chicago skyscraper style and completed in 1915, the David Whitney Building was designed with a five-story atrium area where shops could be located. This atrium also served to provide light for the building’s corridors.  The atrium was done in white tile, terra cotta and marble in the Italian Renaissance style. The public corridors in the building had Italian marble floors and walls. Mahogany was used as the wood in the public areas, while the office floors were in marble. For several decades, the Whitney was a prestigious location for medical offices.   Through several decades of changes and additional years of vacancy, the building has remained full of potential.  This tour will take you inside while it is being remodeled to allow you to learn the history and see the next era of change in progress.  Lunch at Angelina Bistro will round out your Grand Circus Park experience!
