Burnham Brothers Inc., architect

— 1929 —

Chicago Landmark

According to popular legend, the architects chose this building's dark green and gold colors based on a gold-foiled champagne bottle seen at an office holiday party. Whether true of not, the building is one of the most-distinctive features on the Chicago skyline. The lobby also is a classic of Art Deco design, with exceptionally fine bronzework and black marble. The building was designed by Daniel and Herbert Burnham, sons of the legendary architect and city planner Daniel H. Burnham.
