Manhattan Building, Office building from Chicago School in Chicago Loop, United States.
The Manhattan Building rises 53.5 meters with 16 floors and features large windows combined with granite and brick on its facade at 431 South Dearborn Street.
William Le Baron Jenney designed this structure in 1891, introducing the first steel skeletal support system for a commercial building in the world.
The Manhattan Building earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and received Chicago Landmark status in 1978.
The building maintains its original purpose as an office space, situated near multiple public transportation options in downtown Chicago.
