Destination Description
“If you build it, they will come,” the catchphrase intoned in the classic baseball flick Field of Dreams, perfectly captures the allure of Illinois.
A state known for its amazing architecture and city planning, several of the state’s buildings were designed by the nation’s most acclaimed, ground-breaking and flat-out brilliant architects—visionaries such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Lucas Pfeiffenberger, Daniel Burnham and Louis Sullivan, who turned structures into art.
The virtuosity of these and other masters is present not only in Chicago, which has a legendary history of design, but in cities throughout the state, from Peoria to Galena to Springfield. From modern high-rises to historical marvels, this backdrop of ingenuity ensures meeting inspiration at every turn.
