The Fort Dearborn Hotel is a
LaSalle/Van Buren 'L' station. The Hotel Sherman Co. owned both the Fort Dearborn Hotel and the nearby Hotel Sherman, and the two hotels had a common management and kitchen staff. However, while the Hotel Sherman was a typical luxury hotel of the era, the Fort Dearborn Hotel focused on providing practical amenities at lower rates and set an example as a "popular, commercial hotel".[2] The hotel is now an office building known as the LaSalle Atrium Building.[3]
The Fort Dearborn Hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 12, 1982.[1]
