Notes
  • Originally the world's tallest marble-clad structure.
  • Tallest building in Chicago until the completion of the Willis Tower the following year.
  • The original Carrara marble slabs turned out too thin and the building had to be reclad.
  • The marble was replaced by thicker slabs of North Carolina speckled granite in 1990-1992.
