ROGERS PARK — For the fifth year in a row, the Chicago Architecture Foundation's Open House event invites the public to get an up-close look into more than 200 historical and little-known sites in the city.
This year, a whopping fifteen of them are sprawled out across Edgewater, Rogers Park and West Ridge, including the famed Emil Bach House, Edgewater Beach Apartments, Broadway Bank building and more.
The tours are free and generally take place 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, however some of the tours require advance registration (though none in Rogers Park or West Ridge).
