    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.
