St. Ignatius College Prep

Opened in 1869, two years prior to the Chicago Fire, this impressive building is still a working high school. No tours are offered of the interior, but pieces of famous Chicago buildings from the past have been installed around the campus, including murals from the old Chicago Stadium and intriguing

ornament from lost Adler & Sullivan and Burnham & Root masterworks. (Next door, '''Holy Family Church''' dates from 1857.)
