Address: 36 W. Randolph St. Year Built: 1872-74 Architect: Wheelock and Thomas Date Designated a Chicago Landmark: November 23, 1983

One of the few Loop structures surviving from the massive rebuilding that followed the Fire of 1871, this Italianate-style building is also an early example of the use of a precast concrete facade in Chicago. An 1889 remodeling made it competitive with newer and larger commercial buildings by adding two floors, a dramatic steel-framed interior atrium, and redesigning the first two floors.
