Work at a Historical Place
The Boulevard Arcade opened in 1906 and was designed by prominent Oak Park architect E.E. Roberts. The one-story Prairie-style structure featured a brick façade, cast iron columns and distinctive transom art glass.

Today, the Arcade still boasts the brilliances of it’s past, including exquisite tin ceilings, iron staircases, terrazzo flooring, and hardwood frames and doors. The main conference room features a spectacular working vault door, where in its heyday as a mall, resident merchants safely secured high priced garments.
