I first saw S.R. Crown Hall when covering a high school football game near the campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago in 1975. And I first saw Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois, when my mother was serving as a docent in 1995. So which steel and glass-constructed landmark of famed architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe came first? Farnsworth House, a one-room country retreat on the Fox River, was completed in 1951. Crown Hall, home of the Illinois Tech's College of Architecture and widely considered one of van der Rohe's masterpieces, was completed in 1956. Located at 3360 South State Street, it is regarded as one of the most architecturally significant buildings of the 20th century Modernist movement. Steel frame, no interior columns, floor to ceiling glass, suspended roof, a single classroom on the upper level. lots of light and open space. "Almost nothing" is how van der Rohe described it. The two-level building is a pure rectangle, 220 feet by 120 feet by 18 feet tall. Crown Hall was named a Chicago Landmark in 1997 and added to the National Register of Historic Places and listed as a National Historic Landmark in 2001.

Reviewed By mybigcrazylife - Watkinsville, United States
Overall good experience, beautiful view of the city that’s very clear & open. My husband & I talked to some really amazing people. Went out to the end of the pier for an awesome photo opp. Lots of security & Chicago PD here at this park. Our one complaint would be when we parked in the parking garage, it stated weekdays $8, weekends/holidays $25, cash or credit. There was zero notice to us the machines were cash only to get out of the garage, & made it quite a pain for work through that. They need to have this situation corrected. Be aware of it possibly being cash only.
