Monadnock Building
The Monadnock building with its flared base and top and jutting out bay windows is one of the world’s most distinctive skyscrapers. It graces the Chicago skyline and is renowned for being at the forefront of innovation. It remains to this day the tallest commercial iron framed building with a load-bearing masonry exterior.
Chisel & Mouse have produced a sculpture of the north side facade, designed by Burnham & Root in 1891. Its striking design makes it one of the finest remaining examples of the Chicago School of Architecture.
