Archbishop’s Residence

The 1885 mansion, complete with 19 chimneys, is where seven of Chicago's past archbishops lived. World figures from Franklin D Roosevelt to Pope John Paul II have spent the night here while in town. The current archbishop of Chicago does not live on-site; he opted for humbler digs at Holy Name Cathedral's rectory, but the diocese still owns the building.
