I saw some amazing architecture on my stroll through Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. The Rockefeller Chapel towers over the intersection of Woodlawn & E. 59th St. It's vertical style standing in stunning contrast to the horizontal nature of Frank Loyd Wright's Robie House which is on the east side of Woodlawn. The chapel was designed by famed early 20th century architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue. It was completed in 1928, the final gift to the University of Chicago from benefactor and founder John D. Rockefeller, for whom the Chapel was named after his death.
