Located a short way from the iconic Chicago Water Tower, this building is now known as the Archbishop Quigley Center. It is also near Loyola University. This building had been a seminary preparatory school...but it now serves as the offices for the Archdiocese.
It was built in 1917 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
According to Wikipedia (visit link) :

"The Quigley seminaries have educated almost 2,500 priests,[10] two cardinals,[11] over forty-one bishops,[12] two Vatican II periti, separate recipients of the Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland, and, in sports, two members of the Basketball Hall of Fame."
