Towering Triangle

 

Now home to The Robey Hotel, Northwest Tower looms over the 5-corner intersection of North, Milwaukee and Damen Avenues in Chicago's Wicker Park neighborhood about three miles northwest of downtown. Built in 1929, the tower stretches more than two-hundred feet above the street, one of the few high-rise buildings in this part of the city.

Rebuilt as an upscale hotel in 2016, The Robey is named after Robey Street, the former name of Damen Avenue.
