Originally the London Guarantee and Accident Building, this
neo-classical structure is now known as simply 360 North Michigan
Avenue. Designed by Alfred S. Alschuler and completed in 1923,
its Corinthian columns and domed lantern reflect its classical
roots. It is pictured here lit up at night, and by day. |
The National
Newark Building in Newark, New Jersey was built between 1930-31 and at
one time housed many of the state's prominent law firms. It was
originally built for the National Newark & Essex Banking
Company. In recent years it has been renovated and again attracts
some of its former type of tenant. Constructed of copper and
masonry, it is 34 stories high. Also known as the 744 Broad Street
Building, it is located in the historic Four Corners District, where the
original city of Newark was founded in 1666. At 465 feet, it is
Newark's tallest building, although Newark no longer boasts the tallest
skyscraper in New Jersey; that distinction is now held by Jersey City. |
