6 North Michigan Building
Description
Not quite the building it once was, Six North Michigan Avenue is still an essential part of Chicago's beloved Michigan Avenue cliff. At first glance it appears to be any of a dozen interchangeable buildings from the South Loop, but upon closer inspection, it has some merit. In spite of being more than one hundred years old, Six North Michigan retains some of its stately features. A tall central shaft with three columns of wide windows are flanked by two lesser wings of narrower windows. The arrangement fools the eye into thinking the north and south portions are set back from the main facade. Built in 1899. Tallest building in Chicago from 1899 to 1922, surpassed by the Wrigley Building.

One New York Plaza
Description
In 1959 the City of New York attempted to acquire through eminent domain the land under this development as part of the Battery Park Urban Renewal Area. The plan involved consolidating several blocks into a "superblock" for public housing. When that plan fell through the city hoped to entice the New York Stock Exchange to relocate to the property. However the owner of the property - the firm of Atlas McGroth - successfully sued to retain their land, claiming they were more than willing to develop the site privately. The building is 640 feet (195 meters) tall with 50 floors. The building was designed by William Lescaze & Assocs. and Kahn & Jacobs. The facade was designed by Nevio Maggiora, consisting of a boxlike "beehive" pattern with the windows recessed within, made of aluminum-clad wall elements resembling a type of thermally actived elevator button popular at the time of construction.
