Carbide and Carbon Building


Dark clad landmark building
 230 North Michigan Ave
Chicago, IL 60601 		This imposing, dark, art deco tower has been looming over Michigan Avenue since 1929. Clad in an unusual dark green-and-gold terra-cotta facade, the building was fashioned to look like a champagne bottle, according to local legend. It is the alleged inspiration for the apartment building in the movie Ghostbusters, where the men battled the giant marshmallow man. Perhaps the building's most famous aspect is its designers. It was built by the Burnham brothers, sons of the Chicago architecture legend Daniel Hudson Burnham.
