Still standing at Irving Park Road and Marine Drive, the school was designed by Prairie School architect Barry Byrne, a onetime apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright.[3] The sculpture of Mary above the entrance, now removed, was the work of frequent Byrne collaborator Alfonso Iannelli.[4]
The Immaculata High School records are currently housed at the Women and Leadership Archives.[5]
