This building epitomizes the Chicago School, a design movement that changed modern architecture. Its 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," its prominence was further heightened by a jog in the alignment of State Street.
