Facts
The eminent architectural photographer Richard Nickel died while recording the building's demolition, when part of the structure collapsed on him. |
The design, by architect Louis Sullivan, featured a strong cornice, projecting window bays, and an elaborately carved entrance archway. |
The stenciled trading room was one of the architect's masterworks, and has been relocated to the Art Institute of Chicago. |
The arch from the main entrance has also been preserved, and stands outside the Art Institute at Columbus & Monroe. |
One of the classic works of early skyscraper design, with a highly textured and open façade. |
Replaced by the  30 North LaSalle office building. |
