Morrison Hotel, 46-story hotel in The Loop, Chicago, US
The Morrison Hotel stood at the corner of Madison and Clark Streets, rising 160 meters with its limestone and terra cotta exterior.
Built in 1925 by architects Holabird & Roche, the hotel expanded from an initial three-story structure constructed by Orsemus Morrison in 1860.
The Terrace Casino inside the Morrison Hotel became a central gathering space for Chicago society, hosting performances by numerous Big Band musicians.
The hotel contained 2,210 rooms across four connected sections, with multiple restaurants, a ballroom, and a rooftop garden for guest entertainment.
In 1927, Joe Powers set a world record by spending sixteen days living on the flagpole at the top of the Morrison Hotel.
