Boyce Building

The Boyce Building is a 12-story office structure in Chicago with characteristic features of early twentieth-century design. The structure combines steel framing with expansive window systems, allowing efficient use of interior space and natural light throughout.

Architect Daniel Burnham designed this building during Chicago's period of rapid expansion and commercial growth in the early 1900s. The city was developing its downtown core into a major business center at this time.

The building reflects the Chicago School approach to design, where steel frames and expansive windows became standard for modern office structures. This approach shaped how commercial buildings looked and functioned throughout the city.

The building sits in an active business district with accessible public transportation and nearby parking options. While the exterior can be viewed from the street, interior access is limited as the space remains in office use.

This building was designed by Daniel Burnham, one of America's most influential architects who also led the master plan for the 1893 World's Fair. His work here demonstrates the construction innovations that shaped his reputation as a leader in modern commercial architecture.
