Located in Chicago's Buena Park Historic District, the Cairo Supper Club Building is a one-story terra-cotta-clad structure designed by architect Paul Gerhardt Sr. in 1920 as an example of Egyptian Revival architecture. Originally known as the Winston Building, it served as both a car dealership and supper club. The building survived a drive-by firebombing in May 1964 when an incendiary device was thrown through a window from a passing white Cadillac. It was designated a Chicago Landmark in 2014.
