McCormick House – Past, Present, Future

For the first time ever, Elmhurst Art Museum will exhibit a full 1950s domestic representation of its Mies van der Rohe McCormick House (1952), highlighting this rare single-family home in the Museum’s collection. McCormick House – Past, Present, Future will present visitors with classic mid-Century inspired decor as well as historic images showing how residents lived in the home and explanations about the preservation and restoration process currently underway. Further, the walls will highlight a timeline of events and photos dating back to the building’s conception, including anecdotes and stories about the home’s residents. McCormick House – Past, Present, Future is organized in conjunction with the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
