Description
This 40-story building, completed in 1927, was the tallest outside of New York City when it was built. It's a good example of Chicago's architecture in the early 20th century that exploded with the use of steel-frame structure and terra cotta design. The building stands in stark contrast to the modern, glass skyscrapers that surround it, and gives a perspective of the development in Chicago's architectural movement.
