About This File
A landmark in design and construction technology, the world-famousReliance Building was designed by Charles Atwood, a partner of DanielBurnham, in 1889. It has become the quintessential urban skyscraper,and its construction pioneered the system known as "Chicagoconstruction", in which a riveted steel frame is built, fireproofed,and surrounded by large windows (the main feature).
Sadly, such a landmark went through a dark age in the latter 20thcentury, becoming horribly disfigured, damaged, and occupied by somelowbrow establishments. But in 1995, a program to revive the buildingstarted. Today, it houses the Hotel Burnham, a luxury hotel, and CafeAtwood, a very good yet small restaurant on the ground floor. If youlook hard enough, you just might catch a little glimpse through thewindow.
The lot is 2x2, with a small alley on one side. Please pardon thestrange way the construction looks, but it was the only way I couldthink of to make the little side awning hang out over the street.
