Creating offices where stuffed prehistoric creatures once glowered was the unusual program for architects Solomon Cordwell Buenz & Associates Inc. The 1893 Laflin Memorial Building, one of Lincoln Park's most prominent structures, was known as the home of the Chicago Academy of Sciences' elaborate dioramas and displays.
In renovating the building for Lincoln Park Zoo Management offices, the architects restored the neo-classical architectural elements to pride of place. The monumental staircase, atrium colonnade and decorative plaster ceiling all elicit admiration once again.
