Located at the exact epicenter of CTA's Loop transit system, this 850ft building is distinctive for its vertical curve. It has been renamed for each of the successive banks that have bought out its previous tenants - for example, it was the BankOne Tower until a couple years ago. The plaza outside is more interesting than the interior - it is home to an enormous mosaic by renowned Russian painter Marc Chagall.
