Here is my favorite building in Chicago.

The front door.....





The north facade:

More details. I don't know that I love all art deco, but I love this art deco.....







This one is from higher up -- and I think it is the best for showing the color of the building. Definitely greenish.

More detail near the top of the building.





One of the things I love about this building is how different it looks in different light. You can really see that in this pic which shows a shadow across part of the top.



A sunny pic, and then a hazy/rainy one.







They don't build 'em like that anymore!
