The Graham Foundation is pleased to be part of Open House Chicago, a free public festival organized by the Chicago Architecture Foundation that offers behind-the-scenes access to 150 buildings across the city.

 

Since 1963, the Graham Foundation has been located in the Madlener House, a Prairie-style mansion located on the Gold Coast and built in 1901–02 by architect Richard E. Schmidt and designer Hugh M. G. Garden. The Madlener House was restored in 1963 to become the Graham’s headquarters and features two floors of exhibition space, original art glass windows, and a courtyard garden that showcases our significant collection of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century architectural fragments. On October 18–19 (Saturday, 10AM-5PM; Sunday, 12PM-4PM), come tour the Madlener House, visit our current exhibition Experiments in Environment: The Halprin Workshops, 1966-1971, and check out our architecture bookshop.
