Chicago’s designated landmarks
Every building the City of Chicago has individually designated as a landmark, on one map — from Frank Lloyd Wright houses to downtown towers. Click any landmark, or search by name, architect, or address, to see who designed it, when it was built, and when it was landmarked.
How to read this map
Each shape is a single individually-designated Chicago landmark building; the amber footprint is the building itself, and a dot marks it when you’re zoomed out. The year built and the architect are shown exactly as the City records them — some are approximate (“1873–94”) or unknown, and we don’t guess.
This map shows individual landmarks only. Landmark districts — historic areas like a whole block or corridor — are not shown, because the City does not currently publish their boundaries in a form we can map accurately. When it does, we’ll add them.
