Sutherland Hotel, Historic hotel and jazz venue in Kenwood, Chicago, US.
The seven-story brick and terra cotta building stands at the intersection of 47th Street and Drexel Boulevard with architectural details from 1917.
The United States government commandeered the structure before its completion to serve as General Hospital 32 during World War I in 1918.
The Sutherland Lounge within the hotel featured performances by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and other notable jazz musicians during the 1950s.
The building has transformed from a military hospital to a hotel, then to a jazz venue, and now functions as residential apartments.
The establishment became one of the first integrated hotels in Chicago during 1952, serving as a meeting point for civil rights organizations.
