Chicago Building
Holabird & Roche, architect
1904-05
The building epitomizes the Chicago School, a design movement that changed modern architecture. It's distinctive features include large windows, steel-frame construction, projecting bays and ornate terra cotta cladding. Located at what was known as the "World's Busiest Corner", it's prominence was further heightened by a jog in the alignment of State Street.

Richrad M. Daley, Mayor
Commission on Chicago Landmarks..


A typical example of Chicago School of architecture with ...
- large "Chicago windows"
- metal-frame construction

The building is a critical component of a grouping of significant structures, which includes, Carson Pirie Scott and the former Mandel Brothers Store, at what was once labeled the "World's Busiest Corner."
