The building stands 23 stories tall, with eight elevators, and was constructed between 1910 and 1912. It is used as an office building with retail space on the street level. The tower was designed in the Neo-Classical style by Daniel Burnham. The steel-framed structure is faced with white glazed brick and terra cotta trim. The most distinctive feature is the central light court which begins on the third floor and creates a U-shaped floor plan on the upper office floors."
