Northwest Tower, Historic Art Deco building in Wicker Park, Chicago.

The Northwest Tower stands at the intersection of North Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue with a triangular design shaped by the streets' convergence.

Constructed between 1928 and 1929 by architects Perkins, Chatten & Hammond, the building marked the first skyscraper construction outside Chicago's downtown area.

The building housed Tower Coyote Gallery in the 1980s, becoming central to the annual neighborhood arts festival known as Around the Coyote.

Following renovations completed in 2017, the structure now operates as The Robey Hotel, offering 69 rooms and French-American dining at Cafe Robey.

The twelve-story structure retains its original Art Deco elements while incorporating modern hotel amenities, including a rooftop pool in the adjacent converted warehouse.
