Midway Gardens

Midway Gardens was an innovative amusement park and entertainment venue in Chicago, opened in 1914 by notable architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It featured elaborate gardens, unique sculptures, and a variety of recreational activities, merging art with amusement. The site was designed to promote social interaction and artistic expression, reflecting Wright's vision of integrating nature with human experiences. Despite its initial popularity, Midway Gardens struggled financially and was eventually closed in 1920. The complex was later demolished, but it remains a significant example of early 20th-century design and the blending of architecture with leisure.
