The Baha'i House of Worship in Wilmette which was designed by Louis Bourgeois with George A. Fuller in kind of a spectacular Romanesque Revival/Moorish Revival style echoing the work of Louis Sullivan. One of only seven in the world, the Baha'i House of Worship for the North American continent was dedicated in 1953 after more than 30 years of construction. In April 2007 it was named one of the Seven Wonders of Illinois.
The temple is currently undergoing renovations but is still open to the public every day from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
