Notes
  • 1987 Charles E. Peterson Prize, Honorable Mention
  • Significance: The Casino Building was one of the original structures at Ravinia Festival. Ravinia Festival, known previously as Ravinia Park, was an early twentieth century high class amusement park created by the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric Railroad, specifically to attract customers to the railroad. The original buildings at Ravinia Park were designed by architect Peter Weber in 1902. The Casino was a two story stucco structure, Spanish in feeling with detailing derivative of the Arts and Crafts movement. It was originally used for dining and private parties. There was a ballroom on the second story. In the 1950's it was used as an art gallery for special shows.
