Originally constructed in 1888, the Rookery Office Building is the oldest
remaining high-rise in Chicago. It's name probably came from the previous building on this site
which was
an old city hall and was a favorite roosting spot of pigeons. The
lobby (pictured right) was remodeled in 1905 by Frank Lloyd Wright, who simplified
the ironwork and added planters, terra cotta and light fixtures in his
trademark
prairie style.
