The Open House Chicago Festival, hosted by Chicago Architecture Center is marking its 15th year in Chicago. The annual free event showcases the city’s well-known architecture, highlighting culturally, historically, and architecturally significant sites. Many of the places are rarely open to the public and range from museums to mansions and schools. 

This year, Swift Hall is one of thirty new sites on the festival as a part of their Sacred Spaces programming and as a part of the University of Chicago Divinity School's celebration of the building's centennial. 

The event will take place Oct. 18-19, and it’s expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors.
