The Architecture, uh, Center sponsors this, and there are many, many places all over the city in almost every neighborhood, really cool buildings that you can go inside of that you don't normally get to see.
Cate PlysPANELIST
Um, and I would say because it's new, um, on this agenda, the Uptown Theater is ...
Cate PlysPANELIST
You're not, you don't get many chances to go inside the Uptown, and that's part of it.
Cate PlysPANELIST
So that's this weekend, uh, kind of 9:00 to 5:00, but I would go to the Architecture website and just double-check because some, um, places may have slightly different hours.

Nice.
Jen SabellaGUEST
They do, and we have a comprehensive guide on our website, including all 20 new locations for Open House Chicago, which is new places that have never been open to the public before.
Jen SabellaGUEST
That includes Uptown Theater, which I know so many people are desperate to get a peek inside, built in 1925, has been closed for decades.
Jen SabellaGUEST
It is a gorgeous space, and you'll be able to check it out this weekend.
Jen SabellaGUEST
10 to 3 p.m. Saturday, 10 to 3 p.m. Sunday, along with dozens of other spots.
Adam RubinGUEST
So it's been a while.
Adam RubinGUEST
Um, and it'll be a chance to be able to see the historic, uh, Broadway lobby, which is just this incredible, lavish, giant room, and then get a walk into the auditorium and be able to look back at it from the, uh, you know, the edge of the stage.
Joni FollettoCORRESPONDENT
Mm-hmm.
Adam RubinGUEST
And just see how massive this building is.
