Mies Van der Rohe

This is a picture of my golf hole that I photographed. It`s a picture that looks like a Mies Van der Rohe building.
This is another picture of my golf hole also a Mies Van der Rohe building. Can you see Miss Darnell in the back?
I also chose this one as a picture to use because I liked the angle.

Address:  3100 to 3500 South State Street
A brief history of this landmark:

Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe is famous for many reasons. He designed many buildings such as the Illinios Institute of Technology at 3100 to 3500 South State Street. He also designed S.R. Crown Hall, a national historic landmark and home to IIT`s College of Architecture and Wishnick Hall, the University`s Chemistry Building. 

The importance of this landmark to Chicago is: This building that Mies Van der Rohe built is important to Chicago because without it people from around the world will not be able to come to Chicago and learn. 
I think people should visit this landmark because: They could learn about architects, Mies Van der Rohe and Chicago.
