During a break at Travel Blog Exchange '09, I couldn't resist this view of Millennium Park from a window of our fifth floor meeting room at the Chicago Cultural Center. Photo shot with iPhone 3G.

Wednesday Window ~ Hotel Baker on the Fox River in Saint Charles, Illinois

Upper story windows of the Hotel Baker, built in 1928 at a cost exceeding $1 million. At the time, the 55-room hotel was the most luxurious small resort hotel in the country. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In its original heyday, the Hotel Baker's Rainbow Room headliners included Tommy Dorsey, Guy Lombardo, Louis Armstrong, and Lawrence Welk.
