Delaware building

The Delaware Building in Chicago's Loop is a historic structure that has retained its 1870s Italianate character amidst the modern architecture of the area. Notable for its early use of precast concrete, this building was designated a Chicago Landmark in 1983 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Originally constructed with five floors and a basement, the building underwent expansion in 1889, adding two additional floors and modifying the Randolph Avenue fa ade. With its unique architectural features and rich history, the Delaware Building stands as a testament to Chicago's post-fire rebuilding efforts.
