Much equipment in this building were very modern e.g. high-speed elevators and air conditioning when it was completed in 1934. But one of the most well known thing is the bronze relief in the shape of the building in the lobby behind the information desk.

The world's first skyscraper, the Home Insurance Building, and some other buildings around it stood there before construction of this building(1931). This was the last office skyscraper in Chicago till 1955(One Prudential Plaza).

Utilization

The vast majority of the building's rentable area is occupied by the LaSalle National Bank, with the remainder occupied by various private tenants. Mechanical spaces are located at the 25th and 45th floor levels. The 43rd and 44th floor levels house executive dining rooms for use by the bank and selected other tenants. The rest of the floor levels consist of typical office space. As was customary in the 1930s, the building does not have a 13th floor.
