The Wedding Website of Kaitlyn Pauline McCarthy and John Paul DeChant
The Venue When it opened in 1885, the 12-story Rookery building in the heart of Chicago’s financial district was considered a skyscraper. It was one of the tallest buildings in the world at the time, and the tallest in Chicago. In 1905, seeking to modernize the interior public spaces of The Rookery, the building’s manager hired Frank Lloyd Wright. The 1905 lobby remodel which was Wright’s first major gig also resulted to be known as one of the most luxurious interiors of his career. The Rookery is also famous for the Oriel Staircase, which spirals up 12 stories and is one of the most photographed staircases in the world. In addition, the toy store (Duncan's Toy Chest) from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York was filmed within the Rookery -- a long way from New York City :)
