Reproductions of the Wright-designed Midway Gardens sprites were later added to the Arizona Biltmore Hotel
Midway Gardens (opened in 1914, demolished in 1929) was a 360,000 square feet[1] indoor/outdoor entertainment facility in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. It was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who also collaborated with sculptors Richard Bock and Alfonso Iannelli on the famous "sprite" sculptures decorating the facility. Designed to be a European–style concert garden with space for year-round dining, drinking, and performances, Midway Gardens hosted popular performers and entertainers but struggled financially and the structure was torn down in October 1929.
