Brick of Chicago Uptown Neighborhood Walking Tour


On a Brick of Chicago neighborhood walking tour, you’ll learn about all the elements that make Chicago one of the most interesting and dynamic cities in the world. Afterwards, you’ll never look at the built world (or the humble brick) the same way again!

Brick of Chicago neighborhood walking tours have been voted one of Chicago’s best tours by Curbed and the Chicago Reader.

Once called Chicago’s “Other Loop”, Uptown was home to the heights of entertainment and excess in the 1920s. Architects used the newest technologies to make sparkling buildings in historic styles as Chicagoans flocked to Uptown to drink, dine, and take in a motion picture before the crash of 1929. Uptown’s story didn’t end there, however – after the Depression, Uptown became a landing place for new Chicagoans from around America and the world and architects in the mid-century and today continue to bring gorgeous, innovative buildings to the neighborhood. Go beyond the 1920s with this tour that celebrates the stories and the stuff that have made Uptown one of the most beautiful and unexpected places in Chicago.

After this tour you’ll never look at Chicago or the humble brick in the same way again!
