Dearborn Station

Fodor's Review:

Chicago's oldest standing passenger train station, a South Loop landmark, now serves as a galleria. Designed in Romanesque-revival style in 1885 by the New York architect Cyrus L. W. Eidlitz, it has a wonderful clock tower and a red-sandstone and redbrick facade ornamented with terra-cotta. Striking features inside are the marble floor, wraparound brass walkway, and arching wood-frame doorways.
