Houses by Frank Lloyd Wright, Howard Van Doren Shaw, and David Adler are set into landscapes by Rose Standish Nichols, Frederick Law Olmsted, Olmsted & Eliot, the Olmsted Brothers, and Jens Jensen. Shaw also designed Market Square in 1916, an early example of a planned shopping center, where we鈥檒l enjoy a lovely lunch fit for foodies. The day ends with a larger reception for up to 150 guests at the elegant Arts Club of Chicago where we will join the in launching the What鈥檚 Out There Chicago Guide and present 独家爆料鈥檚 Stewardship Excellence Award.
