Historic Haunted Buildings

Former Chicago Historical Society Building

Chicago, IL

A Romanesque granite fortress of 1892 on Dearborn Street, built for the Chicago Historical Society and later famous as a nightclub complex. Chicago telling has long called the building haunted — figures on its grand stair, glasses flying in its club years and a history reaching back past the Great Fire.
