Built in 1911-1912, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Daniel H. Burnham and his successor firm of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White to replace the earlier Commercial National Bank Building a block away. The building was one of the last to be designed by Burnham prior to his death, and replaced another building designed by Burnham for the Commercial National Bank only five years prior, which had been outgrown by the bank after its merger with the Continental National Bank in 1910. The building stands 21 stories tall, and is clad in terra cotta with a doric colonnade at the base with fluted columns and pilasters with egg and dart trim at the capitals, a decorative entablature and cornice above the colonnade with the words “City National Bank and Trust Company” engraved into the architrave, one-over-one windows arranged into vertical columns with pilasters, decorative corbels, and recessed spandrel panels with decorative reliefs, a doric colonnade with fluted columns at the top of the building, and a low-slope roof enclosed by a parapet. The building’s upper floors surround a central light court that descends to a barrel vault roof that once soared above the banking floor, but after the building was gutted to become a hotel in 2007, the space below the roof now is a relatively mediocre and generic ballroom, with a floor having been added between the roof and the large atrium below, and the original banking hall having been downsized and had all its original details replaced with cheap-looking imitation finishes and elements that pale in comparison to the originals. Despite the unfortunate alterations to the interior that have stripped all character-defining features, the building managed to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007, and today serves as a hotel. Additionally, the building is a contributing structure in the West Loop–LaSalle Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. The building is one of several structures along LaSalle Street that form a historic Skyscraper “Canyon” that terminates at the tallest structure along the street, the Board of Trade Building.
Built in 1988-1991, this Postmodern-style building was designed by Hammond, Beeby and Babka to house the Harold Washington Central Branch of the Chicago Public Library after a period between 1977, when the old Central Library was converted into the Chicago Cultural Center, and 1988, when funding was finally secured for a new Central Library, during which the Central Library was located in temporary quarters and much of the collection was kept in storage. The building takes heavy inspiration from Romanesque Revival and Classical Revival architecture, though it is playful with proportions and materials. The building features a rusticated stone base, rectilinear window bays, doorways with arched transoms, a band of decorative trim at the top of the stone base, arched window bays on the second floor facade, which tapers from the stone base to the base of the large multi-story arched bays above that contain curtain walls, which feature metal spandrels, with smaller window openings feautring vertical bands of decorative trim above, terminating at festoons above. The base of the roof features bracketed eaves with metal railings, a cross-gabled roof with a barrel vaulted roof at the top, copper cladding, oversized acroterions, and oversized metal ornament at the edges of the roof. The center of the building features an atrium known as the winter garden, with a barrel vaulted glass roof with a marble floor and decorative trim around the doorways, and planters, with other sections of the building featuring details that reference classical architecture, but with modern materials. The building serves as the main branch of the Chicago Public Library, along with offices for the library, event space, a maker lab, exhibition spaces, and the Cindy Pritzker Auditorium.
Built in 1896-1897, this First Renaissance Revival-style structure was designed by Alfred M. Hedley as one of the original nine stations on the Union Loop in Downtown Chicago, which was constructed to allow seamless operations and turn-arounds by the various elevated rapid transit lines that were operating in the city at the time. The station is one of only two on the Loop to feature its original station houses, though it remains unrestored and in somewhat dilapidated condition as of 2025. The The station houses are clad in metal sheeting with fluted corinthian pilasters, decorative window trim, one-over-one double-hung windows, decorative interior woodwork, and cornices with dentils, and sit above an open mezzanine, with metal canopies at the platforms lining the tracks. The station has received very few modifications since it opened, with occasional renovations, leaving it as an unrestored, though somewhat intact historic relic of the early years of the Chicago Union Loop.
