Mid-Continental Plaza, International Style skyscraper in Chicago, United States
Mid-Continental Plaza rises 583 feet high with 49 floors, featuring a curtain wall system of fixed glass marked by thin vertical steel lines.
The construction of this office building started in 1969 and reached completion in 1972, adding a new dimension to Chicago's financial district.
The structure exemplifies the International Style architectural movement of the 20th century through its minimalist design and functional approach.
Located at 55 East Monroe Street, the building contains 215 residential units in its top ten floors following a 2013 renovation project.
The building's granite-clad lobby connects Monroe and Adams streets through three separate entrances, creating a public thoroughfare within the structure.
