The Chicago Cultural Center is a neoclassical building in the Loop, Chicago, designed by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge and built in 1897 of Indiana limestone, granite and marble. Originally the main library of the Chicago Public Library and a memorial hall, it was converted in 1978 into an arts and culture center, the nation's first free municipal cultural center. It is a Chicago Landmark and a National Register of Historic Places listing.
