How To Propose At The Rookery Building Chicago
The Rookery Building in Downtown Chicago is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. The location is the perfect setting for a romantic and memorable proposal!
This building was constructed in 1888 and makes a breathtaking background for a memorable engagement with its lovely spiral staircase!
Getting to The Rookery Building
The Rookery Building in Chicago is really easy to get to as the property is located on the corner of LaSalle and Adams.
Simply type “Rookery Building Chicago” into your phone, to get GPS directions that will lead you directly to the building. However, parking can be hard to find in the downtown area.
To ensure you don’t waste time driving around trying to find a spot, I recommend booking in advance using the SpotHero app.
