- **Event Description**: Daniel Burnham was one Chicago’s greatest architects, and his 1909 Plan of Chicago still shapes the city we know today. Many people don’t realize that he spent the last three decades of his life living in what he called “bucolic Evanston.” The six-acre property included his home, a tea house, tennis courts, and a private beach.

Although his house was torn down in the 1930s and his property subdivided, many remnants of his time in Evanston remain, including homes built or remodeled by him for friends and neighbors.

This tour of what Burnham referred to as “the most beautiful city in the world” will be led by Kris Hartzell, Director of Facilities, Visitor Services, and Collections at the Evanston History Center, located in the landmark Charles Gates Dawes House.
