Chicago Brick of the Day: Palace of Westminster


In an effort to showcase the magnificent architecture of Chicago's Tribune Tower, and to help people understand just how powerful and influential the Chicago Tribune newspaper once was, the Chicago Architecture Blog presents: Chicago Brick of the Day.
Today's brick is from:
The Palace of Westminster .  Though maybe this brick came from the portion of the building where the Commons meet, there is no actual building known as the House of Commons in England.
Each day we'll show a photograph of a rock, brick, or other piece of stonework embedded in the exterior of the Tribune Tower .
If you haven't done it yet, play tourist for a couple of hours and wander around the outside of 435 North Michigan Avenue and marvel at an architectural work that will not be equalled in our lifetimes.

  1. I really value this kind of attention to Chicago's "detail". Thanks. Keep it up.
