The culmination of Father Arnold J. Damen, S.J.'s work in Chicago, this
building was opened in 1870 as St. Ignatius College. Loyola University
originated from this institution but, since 1922, St. Ignatius has
operated solely as a college preparatory school. The Second Empire-style
edifice is among the oldest in the city, a rare and distinctive example
of institutional designs pre-dating the Chicago Fire of 1871. |
