Old Colony Building

Landmark skyscraper

407 South Dearborn Street
Chicago, IL 60601

Following the lead of architects Burnham and Root, Holabird and Roche erected this masterful skyscraper at the corner of Dearborn and Van Buren Streets. The facade is a deep, almost black color and gorgeous scrollwork adorns the building. This is one of only a handful of buildings left from that boom time in Chicago history that gave birth to a new American and distinctly Chicago style of architecture. Tours of the Loop, including the Old Colony building, are conducted by the Chicago Architecture Foundation. Call +1 312 922 3432 for information.
