Iconic Art Deco skyscraper with strong presence in the Loop. The design is bold and geometric, and the vertical lines draw your eye right up, giving it a powerful, almost sculptural quality. At street level, the building feels anchored and serious, exactly the kind of structure that makes Chicago’s architectural reputation so strong.

I am a do corporate chair massage and had to work in the building today. Staff was helpful. This is one of my favorite buildings in Chicago. The architecture is beautiful!

Free and open to the general public. This place has a cool little museum that’s worth checking out on the history of this amazing building. You don’t need to get tickets or anything, just walk in and start exploring. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in downtown Chicago.

Visiting the Chicago Stock Exchange was a fascinating experience. It’s an iconic place with so much history in the world of finance and trading. The building itself is impressive, and the atmosphere gives you a real sense of how important Chicago is in the global markets. Definitely worth a visit if you’re interested in economics, business, or just exploring the city’s landmarks.

A fascinating piece of Art Deco architecture. The combination of stone, glass and metal on the inside make this a really glamorous place to gawk at. The artwork on the elevators as well the detailwork around the ceiling and doors are fascinating. This place is much nicer on the inside than I expected from the rather bland outside. Don't miss out on this and swing on through if you're in the area!
