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

The Burnham Center is a 21-story office building located at the corner of Clark and Washington Streets in downtown Chicago. The structure features rounded corners and decorative facade elements that characterize the entire building.

The building was completed in 1913 and replaced the Chicago Opera House that previously stood on the same site. Construction was financed through funds from Marshall Field's estate, a major merchant and art patron of the city.

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 is easily accessible during the day and houses numerous offices, including major corporate headquarters. Its location at a main intersection makes it a convenient landmark for navigating the business district.

The building earned listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and long served as the main headquarters of Chicago Title & Trust Company. This historical connection to the real estate industry made it a key reference point in Chicago's financial history.
