Originally built in 1870, The Wheeler Mansion is one of the last remaining mansions that survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. A successful banker and President of The Chicago Board of Trade, Calvin T. Wheeler, commissioned the house to rebuilt by local architect, Otis Wheelock. The Wheeler Mansion was inspired by French architecture of the 19th century. It was designed with royalty in mind. The mansion boasts 11 guest rooms and suites. Every room has its own unique, elegant style.
