Consumers Building, Commercial building in Chicago Loop, United States.

The Consumers Building reaches 291 feet into the Chicago skyline with 22 floors constructed from steel frame and terracotta cladding at 220 South State Street.

The architectural firm Mundie & Jensen completed this edifice in 1913, during a period when Chicago established itself as a center of architectural innovation.

The structure stands within the Loop Retail Historic District, representing the Chicago School architectural movement that influenced commercial building design across North America.

The General Services Administration currently maintains ownership of the vacant building, which faces ongoing discussions regarding security concerns and preservation requirements.

The building housed multiple film companies in its early years, including Mutual and Universal, while Carnation Milk established offices there during the 1920s.
