The red brick and limestone typical of the Arts and Crafts Movement provides a clean contrast to the recessed, arched Romanesque entryways. Windows line the buildings exterior, offering abundant morning light. A short walk takes you to the University of Chicago, while Lake Michigan and public transportation to the city are less than a mile away.
