Riverside Plaza, Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Chicago, US
The 26-story Riverside Plaza building features an open-air plaza design and stands prominently along the Chicago River at 120 South Riverside Plaza.
Completed in 1929, the structure originally housed the Chicago Daily News and introduced the first air-rights development over railroad tracks in the United States.
The building displays bas-relief sculptures depicting notable figures in journalism and contained a mural by John W. Norton representing the newspaper industry until 1993.
The structure contains 1.2 million square feet of office space and connects directly to public transportation through the central business district of Chicago.
President Herbert Hoover initiated the building operations by pressing a button that started the printing presses during the dedication ceremony.
