Please join us for Docomomo Chicago’s annual meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 17th

Established in 1958 in the city’s central business district, the Chicago Loop Synagogue designed by Loebl, Schlossman and Bennett has primarily served office workers for much of its history. Its sculptures and monumental wall of stained glass breaks the reserved minimalism of the sanctuary, leading one critic to describe it as "perhaps the most beautiful synagogue interior in the United States." Our meeting will include board member elections and a recap of last year's chapter activities and how you can get involved in our future activities. The second part of the meeting will be dedicated to touring and discussing the Loop Synagogue. Considering the Synagogue’s reduction in membership in the last thirty years we will consider the developmental risks and challenges while we observe the modern assets of the building and rooftop.
