Description: The Chicago Club building at 81 East Van Buren at Michigan Avenue in the Loop neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois was built in 1929 and was designed by Granger and Bollenbacher. The building previously on the site has been constructed in 1886-87 by Burnham & Root as the original home of the Art Institute of Chicago. When the Institute moved across the street in 1892, the Chicago Club, which had had three previous clubhouses, took over that building, and used it as their clubhouse until it collapsed during remodelling in the 1920s. During construction of the new building, Burnham & Root's triple-arched entryway was moved from Michigan Avenue to Van Buren Street. This is the view of the building from north along Michigan Avenue.
