📚 Lecture: "Music, Magic, M**der: Chicago's Most Fascinating Building"

🎤 Speaker: Keir Graff


Join us for an enthralling evening with author Keir Graff as he unveils the captivating history of Chicago's Fine Arts Building, a place that has witnessed the creation of countless artistic works—and even a M**der or two.

Located at 410 South Michigan Avenue, this storied building is home to musicians, painters, violin makers, and a delightful mix of other creatives. Keir will share contemporary photographs and rare historical images, narrating the most memorable tales of this cultural treasure that has defied the odds over the years. As a tenant of the building, Graff offers a unique perspective on its rich legacy, where music fills the halls and the sound of manually operated elevators echoes through time.

Keir Graff is a prolific author of thrillers, mysteries, and nonfiction for adults, as well as adventure novels for younger readers. His recent works include Chicago’s Fine Arts Building: Music, Magic, and M**der and more. He is also the cofounder of the popular literary gathering, Publishing Cocktails.
