DESCRIPTION:The Architectural Beauty of the Far South and Southwest \nApril 10th\, 2026 @ 7:00pm in the Baffes Theatre \n$25 \nLee Bey will discuss the remarkably beautiful and largely unsung architecture of the far South and Southwest Sides of Chicago\, which are home to lesser-known but important work by luminary architects such as Jeanne Gang\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, and Eero Saarinen\, as well as buildings by pioneering black architects such as Walter T. Bailey\, John Moutoussamy\, and Roger Margerum.Contrary to popular narratives that typically ignore the great architectural heritage of Chicago’s South Side\, Bey will detail the beautiful and intact buildings and neighborhoods that reflect the value and potential of the area. His presentation will offer much to delight and intrigue even those familiar with the South Side.Event Proceeds from this fundraiser event will benefit RHS.Get tickets online (Ticketing is not through Beverly Arts Center and so BAC memberships do not apply): https://bit.ly/RHS-leeAbout Lee BeyLee Bey is the award-winning architecture critic for the Chicago Sun-Times.
