On Sunday's bike ride to the south side, I rode down 53rd street in the heart of Hyde Park and was awed by the Hyde Park Bank building at the corner of Harper & 53rd which stands out from the crowd of low-rise buildings as one of the few tall buildings in the area (11 floors). The building was built in 1928 and its architect was Karl Vitzhum.
Unfortunately, the building was not open and I wasn't able to enjoy the recently renovated interior which won a 2005 AIA Honor Award for Interior Architecture which Blair Kamin wrote about in
Architectural Record.
