Crane Company Building, Office building and skyscraper in Chicago, United States.
The Crane Company Building features twelve stories with limestone facing on lower floors and red brick construction from the fourth to eleventh floors.
Completed in 1912 by architects Holabird & Roche, the building served as headquarters for the Crane Company, a major manufacturer of plumbing equipment.
