Chicago Cultural Center



Look up ... off the ground ... or else you might miss something spetacular! This Tiffany mosaic stained glass dome forms the interiors of Chicago's first Public Library ... built in 1897. However as the city grew there was need for a bigger library ... Now this place is renamed as "Chicago Cultural Center" and has offices for the city’s Department of Cultural Affairs. Surprizingly, despite this being in the heart of downtown Chicago, I know of many Chicagoans who have never been to this place. The building has another dome, which is the largest Tiffany dome in the world.



St. Basil’s Cathedral



“The vivid colors and onion domes continue to inspire me,” says William Stubbs.
The cathedral on
Red Square, in Moscow, was originally built by Postnik Yakovlev for Ivan the Terrible in 1555-61.
