A recent photo of the Obama Presidential Center Museum Building is getting brutal reviews, especially so considering it’s in Chicago, a city famous for its stunning architecture.

Still under construction, the building designed by Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects features an exterior wrapped in granite panels. It is but one of a number of buildings on the massive 19-acre Obama Presidential Center campus, which has been priced at about $830 million by the Associated Press.

Ugly, will it have loudspeakers on top for the call for allah?

Given Barry’s whispered proclivities, I’m surprised it doesn’t resemble a Blue Origin rocket.

He's a joke. They elected him twice and he did nothing, just like the potato.

[John Milner]

Looks like the grain elevator found in every small Midwestern town - nestled adjacent to the usually abandoned rail line.

[Bullish]

Horrid. It looks like something the 3rd Reich would set up.

Who was the lead architect? Joe Biden or the Democrat Party? My lord. Obama can screw anything up.

It resembles a gray mausoleum. Which is entirely appropriate.

All it needs is a few Egyptian-style Royal Blue stripes and a golden owl on the top.

My name is Obamandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Nowadays they probably don’t do or know what a slump test is.

[circlecity]

Looks like the creepy tower from a Dracula movie.

[Flaming Conservative]

What a monstrosity!

[Flaming Conservative]

Is this really in the lobby?

[Bernard]

Is it just the picture, or does the structure lean to the left? We already have a crooked building in Niles.

Even the crypt is nicer looking than that monstrosity.

Thought this was a firefighter training tower.

[Toespi]

Looks like seven levels to me………. In Islamic cosmology, there are seven distinct heavens, with each level being a unique abode with specific inhabitants and attributes.

[FrdmLvr]

Are you serious? I can believe it but still...

This Presidential Library/Presidential Center stuff needs to stop, or we are going to have Joe Biden embalmed and on display.

19 acres? $830 million?

Let's hear about the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library. How many acres is the Harry Truman Presidential Center?

Obscene.
