This place used to be the main Public Library. It contains the largest dome that Louis Comfort Tiffany ever created. Now this is the main tourist information center. The building is a treasure. All original mosaics and light fixtures. It's stepping back into a time over 100 years ago.
Remember when they had the fiberglass cows in Chicago? And then they had the fiberglass bulldogs in Athens; and on Tybee we did the turtles? Well this bronze cow was given to the city to thank them for the fiberglass cows. Pretty cool.
So this is the Tiffany dome. This building is between Marshall Field's and Millenium Park. Anyone can stick their head in and tour the building but it's not on the major tours because it's FREE.
This is the other dome in the building. Remember that it was built as the public library. This was in the reading room. Can you imagine?
An absolutely great building.
