Josephinum Academy was thrilled to be part of Open House Chicago from 2018 through 2021. The beloved architecture festival hosted by the Chicago Architecture Center showcases different buildings and neighborhoods every year. It includes both online and outdoor events that highlight the fascinating history, architecture, and culture of the city’s diverse neighborhoods. We hope to join the festival again if it comes back to Wicker Park!

Josephinum Represents the Mid-Century Modern Era

The current Josephinum Academy building, completed in 1959, incorporates  some beautiful examples of mid-century modern era architectural features such as glass block, geometric patterns and terrazzo flooring. Read more about our building in our Josephinum Tour Guide below or download it HERE.
