Came across this photo looking for information on the Chicago El. For 2 points and digital photo of your favorite Chicago Church, indentify this photo.
Clues
1) If it sort of looks like a Church, well... Many Cathedrals were used for the same function as this facility.
2) The building is closely associated with, but not located in Chicago.
3) The buiding is named after a major builder in Chicago and London.
Get your 2 points!

Yerkes Observatory, of the U. of Chicago.
I have photos of an observatory in California, about a century old, that was done in the Spanish Mission syle.
Awesome! And who and where is Yerkes (no Googling allowed)?
Can you post your pix of Californian Observatory?
Congrats

I don't know where Yerkes is or who its namesake was. I guess that it is in either Illinois or Wisconsin.

Yerkes is in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, and is operated by the University of Chicago.
Good design!
