Architect: Burnham and RootLocation: Southeast corner of S. LaSalle and W. Monroe StreetsBuilt in 1892 and demolished in 1926
“Among John Wellborn Root’s last designs was the splendid headquarters for Frances Willard’s Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. For this building, constructed in 1892, on the southeast corner of LaSalle and Monroe Streets, Root turned away from the more virile Romanesque style and found his inspiration in the chateaux of France’s Loire Valley. Ironically, the Woman’s Temple was demolished in 1926 when the organization that it housed was at the height of its power.” (Lost Chicago, David Lowe, page 142)
