History
Our Gold Coast carriage house, which survived the Great Chicago Fire, was home to our celebrated chef Art Smith's restaurant Table 52 for 10 years. In 2017, we opened our doors as Blue Door Kitchen & Garden, named after our own Blue Door Farm located in Rolling Prairie, IN, which was once owned and home to Oprah Winfrey.
