About
Overview
Come and see what the renowned designer Daniel Burnham envisioned when he created the plans for Promontory Point. In 1933-34 this site was home to Chicago’s second World’s Fair.
This quaint building provides crystal clear skyline views and is surrounded by heavenly meadows. The magnificent French doors open onto stone verandas just steps from Lake Michigan. The exposed brick interior along with the historic architecture make this cozy water-front site a must see.
The opportunity to make use of the indoor space in conjunction with the open-air verandas has lured many meetings, social gatherings, and weddings to this lakeside locale. Plan a secluded lakefront affair that combines the charm of a rustic farmhouse with the timeless beauty of a countryside castle.
Promontory Point is a seasonal facility open May-October. The building does not offer air conditioning, although heat is available in May - October, if necessary. Open Houses to view the venue are by appointment only.
The restrooms at Promontory Point are considered to be a “comfort station”, which means the public has access to the restrooms during your event (via separate doors from the outside of the building that lead directly to the restrooms). However, the personnel/labor fee provides you an attendant and a security officer. The attendant insures that the restrooms and grounds remain clean regardless of who uses them. The security officer insures that the public does not disturb your event.
