Elks National Memorial Building Stirring World War I memorial

2750 North Lakeview Avenue Chicago, IL 60614 +1 773 929 2100

A hidden Chicago treasure, this historic Lincoln Park site has much to offer. Overlooked even by locals, the 1926 neo-classical rotunda was built as a memorial for Elks who died in battle during the First World War. On Sundays, tour guides are available to answer questions because the building raises many. Sculptures adorn the sides of the large dome, peering down at you majestically. Inside are a number of lavishly decorated meeting rooms, one featuring a beautiful table with gorgeous inlaid woodwork. Follow the curved hallway on the north end of the rotunda to the museum housing a fascinating collection of Elks' medals. The building is open to the public and admission is free.
