Burnham Center, Commercial skyscraper in Loop District, Chicago, US.

The Burnham Center is a 21-story Beaux-Arts office tower, the last building designed by Daniel Burnham before his death in 1912 and completed in 1913. Like Burnham's Flatiron Building in New York, it has rounded corners and a facade modeled on Rome's Palazzo di Propaganda Fide.

The building was completed in 1913 on the site where the Chicago Opera House once stood. Its construction was financed through Marshall Field's estate, one of the city's most prominent merchants.

The building displays Beaux-Arts architectural elements that are visible in its facade and decorative details throughout. Visitors can notice the classical proportions and careful craftsmanship that distinguish it from modern structures around it.

The building stands at one of the busiest intersections in the Loop, making it easy to spot and reach on foot from nearby transit stops. A daytime visit gives the best view of the facade details in natural light.

The Burnham Center was the last building Daniel Burnham designed; he finished the plans with Frederick P. Dinkelberg shortly before leaving Chicago in April 1912 and died in Germany two months later. The project passed to Ernest R. Graham, Peirce Anderson and Edward Probst, and Graham, Burnham & Co. completed it in 1913.
