Chicago, Illinois — According to state and local development sources, The Richard H. Driehaus Museum plans to invest $6,600,000.00 to build out new space in Chicago. The company plans to occupy the new space at 50 E Erie St in Chicago, on or about June 1, 2024. According to the company website The Richard H. Driehaus Museum immerses visitors in one of the grandest residential buildings of 19th-century Chicago, the Gilded Age home of banker Samuel Mayo Nickerson. Chicago philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus founded the museum on April 1, 2003 with a vision to influence todays built environment by preserving and promoting architecture and design of the past. To realize his vision, Mr. Driehaus commissioned a five-year restoration effort to preserve the structure and its magnificent interiors. Today the galleries feature surviving furnishings paired with elegant, historically-appropriate pieces from the Driehaus Collection of Fine and Decorative Arts, including important works by such celebrated designers as the Herter Brothers and Louis Comfort Tiffany. Today, the Museum is a premier example of historic preservation, offering visitors an opportunity to experience through interior architecture and objets dart how the prevailing design philosophies of the period were interpreted by artists, architects, and designers at the waning of the 19th century and the dawn of the 20th century.
