Heyworth Building, Commercial building in Chicago Loop, Illinois, US

The Heyworth Building at 29 East Madison Street rises 19 stories high with a geometric design combining Chicago School elements and traditional masonry architecture.

D. H. Burnham & Company constructed this structure in 1904 for Otto Young, a real estate investor who named it after his son-in-law Lawrence Heyworth.

The building decorative features complement the ornamental work of the adjacent Sullivan Center, creating a harmonious architectural ensemble in downtown Chicago.

Following an 11 million dollar renovation in 2001, the structure now houses educational institutions including Computer Systems Institute and MacCormac College.

The building maintains its original decorative cornice, a structural element that disappeared from most other commercial buildings in Chicago over time.

Location: Illinois

Architects: D. H. Burnham & Company
