Why this building matters
The hotel preserves a 1927 building in the financial heart of the Loop, the kind of solid 1920s commercial structure that defines downtown Chicago’s streetwall. Inside, clean contemporary rooms keep the building in active use, while the rooftop bar takes advantage of the skyline that has grown up all around it.
Randall’s History of the Development of Building Construction in Chicago records the tower at twenty-two stories on caissons, with Frank D. Chase as both architect and engineer — and then adds a sentence no other source has given us: “The west bay uses air rights over a cow path, reserved in an old deed.”
The cattle route came first, the easement outlived the cattle, and the building had to be designed over it. A 1927 office tower in the middle of the Loop still carries the shape of a nineteenth-century right of way in the way its west side is framed.
