Architecture River Cruise Deep Dive

Join CAC river docents as they share the ?extra? stories about the buildings and people that make the Chicago River so special.

This illustrated talk features some of our favorite “deleted scenes” from the CAFC River Cruise aboard Chicago's First Lady. Find out what it means if you’ve been “bridged." Explore the myth of a dirigible docking station at the top of a skyscraper. Meet an African American architect who was the only woman working for a structural engineering firm responsible for icons of modernism. Delve into a deeper Chicago that was once under your very feet. If you’ve ever approached a river cruise docent after your tour and asked, “can you tell me more?” this presentation is for you!
