Chicago, Illinois – The Prentice Women’s Hospital
If you happen to be passing through Chicago, Illinois during your country-spanning journeys you won’t want to miss the Prentice Women’s Hospital. Anyone who has lived in the area has seen this fascinating structure or heard about it from television commercials through direct tv illinois services or the like and if you have an appreciation for modern architecture then you owe it to yourself to pay this location a visit.
When one stands in front of the Prentice Women’s Hospital one has the feeling that they have just stepped into the distant future. Like something out of The Jetsons or, perhaps, Back to the Future II, a clover-shaped tower dotted with odd oval-shaped windows rises high over a metal box base below, striking a strange and fantastic silhouette against the twilight sky.
Nowadays the structure is vacant with initial plans to tear it down, but plans are being drafted in hopes of revitalizing this incredible structure and preserving this building-sized work of art. Regardless, you are going to want to make sure you make it to Illinois sooner than later if you want to get a good look at this fantastic facility before they make a decision.
