Event summary:

September was welcome back to in-person programs at Fortnightly for our 2021-22 season kick-off event. Speakers Andre Ross and Edith (a.k.a. Ellie Carlson) told us the fascinating story of the life of Edith Rockefeller McCormick, a Fortnightly member as well as member of leading Chicago civic organizations, based on Ms. Ross’ book. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and interesting conversations with our speakers.

GLESSNER HOUSE

Designed by the legendary American architect Henry Hobson Richardson, this architectural marvel was completed in 1887 and continues to be a renowned treasure in the city of Chicago. A radical departure from traditional Victorian architecture, this revolutionary structure served as a source of inspiration for some of the greatest architects of all time, including Louis Sullivan, Mies van der Rohe, and a young Frank Lloyd Wright. Experience the beauty of this architectural masterpiece and be inspired by how it redefined domestic architecture.
