Mundelein Building at Loyola University Chicago Lakeshore Campus B&W Photograph

If you visit the Loyola University Chicago Lakeshore Campus the Mundelein Building is one their most beautiful buildings. The art deco skyscraper that was build in 1930 was the last private, independent, Roman Catholic women's college in Illinois. In 1991, Mundelein College became an incorporated college of neighboring Loyola University Chicago.
Although the Skyscraper features abstracted foliate, sunbursts, and other geometric designs around its doors and windows, the most striking feature of the building's exterior is its guardian angels. The two towering statues at the entrance represent the angels Uriel ("Light of God") and Jophiel ("Beauty of God"). Uriel holds the book of wisdom and points to a cross in Bas-relief on the fourteenth floor. Jophiel holds the planet Earth and lifts the torch of knowledge.
