Medinah Temple, Moorish Revival building in Near North Side, Chicago, United States
The Medinah Temple extends across a city block at 600 N Wabash Avenue, featuring brick walls with terracotta details and horseshoe-shaped arches.
Constructed in 1912 by architects Huehl and Schmidt, the structure served as an auditorium for the Chicago Shrine fraternal organization until 2000.
The building incorporates geometric patterns and Islamic architectural elements, including stylized plant motifs created by the Midland Terra Cotta Company.
The four-story structure contains 4,200 seats distributed across three levels, with the stage floor extending into the main auditorium space.
The temple transformed into Bloomingdale's Home Store in 2003 and now functions as Bally's temporary casino since September 2023.
