Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom

Chicago, United States of America

Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom

Built in 1926 with an interior that is meant to recreate a Spanish palace courtyard, the Aragon cost more than two million dollars at the time, and the well-preserved interior still has the otherworldly brilliance. It shifted from big-band sensation to prizefight arena and swinging mod disco, but it
