Come one, come all to the 3rd Annual Docomomo US/Chicago Summer Social. This year we will be at the beautiful Schweikher House in Schaumburg, IL. Designed in 1937 by architect Paul Schweikher upon his return from a trip to Japan, this house is an early example of organic modernism and a true gem among modern houses in the Chicago region.
Considering COVID-19 precautions, we will be hosting a primarily outdoor event. Refreshments will be provided. All attendees, when not drinking or eating, will be asked to wear masks when unable to keep physical distancing of 6 feet or more. In addition, informed docents will lead small tours of a maximum of 6 people per tour with mandatory mask wearing. There will be three tours. Attendees may also tour the house on their own. PARTICIPATION IN THIS EVENT IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
The event cost for Docomomo US members is $30 and $45 for non-members. Proceeds go to the Schweikher House Preservation Trust and cover refreshment costs. Not a member? Consider becoming a Docomomo US member, or renewing your membership, here.
