Description

This iconic Chicago building is worth checking out for its early modern design. It was constructed by Louis Sullivan in the early 1900s and includes unique (for its time) architectural features such as the elaborate cast iron metalwork above the tower and the innovative steel structure that allowed for more windows and more light in the building. It was, up until 2007, used as retail space, but is currently undergoing redevelopment.
