- Chicago Building Congress
The rehabilitation of this landmark building reclaims an
important piece of city history. The five story, 162,000 square
foot structure was completely gutted and renovated to provide
bright, updated office facilities. Many of the original interior
features, such as the existing central staircase and columns,
were retained and refurbished. The façade was reconstructed
similar to the original with terra cotta and large windows. Existing upper windows and deteriorated terra cotta ornamentation
were also rebuilt.
The revitalized edifice glows with new life and venerates
the original character and history of the surrounding community. |
