Sunset Cafe, Jazz club in Bronzeville, Chicago, US
The establishment at 315 East 35th Street features a bandstand, dance floor, and original wall murals from its jazz club period.
Built as an automobile garage in 1909, the structure transformed into the Sunset Cafe in 1921 and became the Grand Terrace Cafe in 1937.
Louis Armstrong, Earl Hines, and Cab Calloway performed at this integrated venue where Black and white Americans gathered during the 1920s.
The building received Chicago Landmark status in 1998 and maintains its original architectural elements under current preservation guidelines.
The structure remains one of the last standing jazz clubs from 1920s Chicago, while similar historic venues across the country disappeared.
