Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The masonry street-wall along South Dearborn Street in Chicago creates a beautiful and historic band of terra cotta, brick, and stone facades. Spanning from Van Buren Street south to Ida B. Wells Drive, the Fisher Building (architect Daniel Burnham, 1896), the Old Colony Building (architect Holabird & Roche, 1894), the Plymouth Building (architect Simeon Eisendrath, 1899), and the Manhattan Building (architect William LeBaron Jenney, 1891) are each beautiful and historical in their own right. The ornate terra cotta marine motifs of the Fisher, the rounded bay windows and turrets of the Old Colony, the tripartite facade of the Plymouth, and metal frame within the masonry of the 16-story Manhattan building all helped give definition to what a skyscraper would become, at least until steel and glass curtain wall redefined the building type. The world’s tallest unreinforced loadbearing masonry building, the Monadnock (Burnham and Root, 1891), is on the other side of Dearborn Street.
