The Fisher Building is 20-story neo-Gothic landmark building located at 343 South Dearborn Street in the Chicago Loop. Most of my images for the Fisher Building come from the northside platform of the Harold Washington Library (State / Van Buren) 'L' station that nearly touches the Fisher Building.

The Monadnock Building is a 16-story skyscraper located at 53 West Jackson Boulevard in the south Loop area of Chicago. The Monadnock is the tallest load-bearing brick building ever constructed, completed in two sections between 1891 and 1893.

This post features a variety of films and dates and lenses, all captured in Chicago between October 2020 and July 2021 using an EOS 1v. Developing and scanning was done professionally by North Coast Photo and the resulting JPEGs processed further in Adobe Lightroom v6. The URL links of each image title provide exposure details and film types.

Willis Tower


The Willis Tower (pronounced locally as 'Sears' Tower), is shown above from the base in black and white and from the nearby Buckingham Fountain in color, below. The tower has 108 stories as counted by standard methods, though the building's owners count the main roof as 109 and the mechanical penthouse roof as 110.

Below is some of the Chicago skyline along Michigan Avenue overlooking Grant Park and Lake Michigan. The 44-story 'Big Red' is shown in this image, now with signage for Northern Trust, the current tenant since 2017. Originally known as Continental Center III when completed in 1973, the simple, rectangular International Style building, was painted bright red, turning an otherwise ordinary-looking structure into one of the most eye-catching buildings in the city.
