Railway Exchange Building
Railway Exchange Building, Office building at Michigan Avenue, Chicago, United States
The Railway Exchange Building rises 17 stories with white-glazed terracotta exterior and features a steel-framed structure with large windows and projecting bays.
Constructed between 1903 and 1904 by D.H. Burnham & Company, the building initially served as headquarters for multiple railroad companies in downtown Chicago.
The building represents the Chicago School architectural movement, demonstrating the integration of modern construction methods with classical design principles of the early 1900s.
Located at 224 South Michigan Avenue, the structure contains multiple office spaces, with Notre Dame University's Mendoza College of Business operating educational facilities inside.
Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett created the influential 1909 Plan of Chicago in a penthouse added to the northeast corner of the building's roof.
