Reliance Building


Reliance Building
Uploaded by jeanphony on 19 Nov '04, 10.44am PST.

This building, one of my favorites in Chicago now houses the Burnham Hotel named after Daniel Burnham, the architect. Completed in 1890, the Reliance Building paved the way for the modern skyscraper. It was one of the first to use a steel skeleton (which allowed much larger windows than typical construction of its day). See this article for more.

This picture doesn't do it justice, but we just had to drive by and see the new building on the way back to Midway yesterday. It's shocking to see it there among all the Mies.

Not really quite that polarized


The standard red and blue visualization makes it look like the whole of the middle of the country is red, I like this one a little better... There are always levels of gray (or purple in this case). via Speak Up.
