The first phase of the Chicago Art Deco Project – a comprehensive survey of 712 art deco buildings, sites and monuments - is substantially complete establishing an outstanding regional archive for inter-war period design. The project has already supported significant preservation progress.

A masterpiece of residential art deco design, the Powhatan’s striking polychrome terra cotta exterior encloses 22 floors of luxury.  Designed in 1928 by Robert DeGolyer with lavish interiors by Charles Morgan, this lovingly preserved jewel box is located at 4950 South Chicago Beach Drive in Hyde Park. The Powhatan is situated with spectacular views of the loop and the lake.  The ballroom features terraces and monumental windows.

Use of the 22^nd floor Powhatan Ballroom is usually restricted to co-op owners, only.  Through special permission of the building’s board we will have access to the buildings most beautiful common features.

PURE Deco will include drinks (champagne, wine, beer, soft drinks) and heavy hors d’oeuvres, live music by modern crooner Justin Hayford, a spectacular silent auction, projections of photographs and rare archival film footage.  Catering by AEL - Chef Andrew Lawrence.  Period dress is encouraged.
