Morning Scene - Hotel 71


This 36-story, 385 ft. structure located at 71 East Wacker was formerly the Clarion House Hotel which was formely the Executive House Hotel. It was designed in 1957 and completed in 1960.

Although its utilitarian structure is not the most glamorous thing to look at, it is a prime example of architecture from the late 1950s. Incidentally, only the east side of the building has 90-degree angles.

Only the east side of the building has 90-degree angles? Really?? I didn't know that.
