The Former Chicago Historical Society Building is a historic landmark located on the northwest corner of Dearborn and Ontario streets in downtown Chicago. Built in 1892, it is a prime example of Henry Ives Cobb's Romanesque Revival architecture, and the home of the Chicago Historical Society prior to relocating to Lincoln Park. This large granite-clad building is simply known as "Excalibur" or "Vision" by Chicago's populace, because it houses two popular nightclubs with those names. Henceforth, Excalibur will be used as a substitute title to the cumbersome name "Former Chicago Historical Society Building."
