Red bathroom, Ramova Theater (Bridgeport). I was struck by the choice to use such vivid red tiles and paint, and the uncorrected yellow cast from the lights gives the image a surreal quality. #chicago #urbanphotography #openhousechicago

I also liked this section of floor from the same building, if you'll indulge me in another "handsomely weathered" shot #chicago #urbanphotography #openhousechicago

Window view from Bubbly, a former warehouse in Bridgeport now housing various small businesses focused on sustainable technologies. Lots of fun exploring this old brick building during Open House Chicago. #chicago #urbanphotography #openhousechicago

Large sculpture of a hand, each finger covered in colorful cloth. At the end of each finger is a wig and sunglasses. On the palm of the hand it says "we are all fingers on the same hand. We may not look alike but we are all needed"
Sculpture bust of a female, complete covered in strips of denim. She is wearing a hat with three large denim flowers attached to it.
Portrait of a woman (I think) made of blue, red, yellow, white, and gray beads, and a black bicycle chain.
Almost psychedelic painting of a person playing a trumpet. Hair is purple, face is multicolored, shirt is green, blue, and yellow, pants are purple, blue, green, red, and orange, and the shoes are orange high-tops.
Beautiful work at the 345 Art Gallery, 345 N. Kedzie, Chicago. #OpenHouseChicago

From the Open House Chicago website: As one of Chicago's three basilicas, Our Lady of Sorrows has an important status in the Catholic Church and is among the grandest churches in the entire city. Our Lady of Sorrows seats 1,200 people beneath a soaring, barrel-vaulted coffered ceiling that rises 80 feet from the marble floor. The nave is 65 feet wide and features more than 1,100 ornate gold-leaf panels.

So I heard this was a parking lot before being a glass studio, and a horse stable before that, then my kid ran away so I don’t know the rest of the history #OpenHouseChicago

We also stopped by District Brew Yards but just for food and drinks and didn’t do the tour. Paying by oz is a nice model for trying a lot of different beers

A glass studio with many tools and equipment, with an artisan sticking a blowpipe into a furnace, with the back of a child's head in the foreground
Highly recommended: taking your kid to a glass studio, or any place where they make stuff, really

From the Open House Chicago website: "The interior is Byzantine and resembles a Greek Cross with half domes and arches surrounding a 113-foot-high central dome, recently restored. The dome is made entirely of wood with ornamental copper and is lit by a ring of lantern windows. The lavishly-decorated nave is enriched with Stations of the Cross, statuary and original stained-glass windows by Joseph Artmaier. The nave and sanctuary also feature fine scagliola work, elaborate altars, a suspended pulpit topped by a cupola, and decorative stenciling and murals by John Mallin. The Austin organ was installed in 1928.
