Description

One Chicago’s most striking and unique structures is the Garfield Park Fieldhouse. Known to many as the “Gold Dome Building,” this dramatic and detailed building is a rare local example of the Spanish Baroque style. Built in 1928 at the height of an ambitious building campaign, related projects included the fieldhouses for Humboldt Park and Douglas Park. The cost was a little over $650,000, and designed by Norse architects Christian Michaelsen and Sigurd Rognstad. Garfield Park is the oldest of the original Chicago West Side parks. Situated on 185 acres, it sits at the center of the park and marks the division between East and West Garfield Park.
