Plaza Hotel North Avenue & North Clark Street Opposite Lincoln Park in Chicago

“‘Abdu’l-Bahá arrived on Monday evening, April 29,
His nineteenth day’ in Arnerica, and drove to the Plaza Hotel next to Lincoln Park. The phone was already ringing with calls from reporters requesting interview time.
“‘Tomorrow morning,’” ‘Abdu’l-Bahá told them. To the friends in His hotel suite, He reported: In Washington we always had one thousand and two thousand hearers in large meetings. Day and night I had no rest. A close friendship has been created between the colored and white friends. They have become excellent believers. Even those, who have not
become believers, have become much nearer. Notwithstanding all this, I like Chicago more, because the first voice of Bahá’u’lláh was raised from this city.”
