| Facts |
|
| Residence
of Jane Byrne, Chicago's first female mayor, during her term
of office. |
The tower is a large slab resting on inverted triangular piers,
which separate it from the wide base. |
The Chestnut Street lobby has a flamboyant art deco design
with elaborate brass grillework. |
An I. Magnin Department store used to occupy the retail area
of the base, which extends east on Pearson Street. Today this
space is subdivided among several large stores. |
