Santa Fe Building - II ..
That's a wonderful building. The atrium above the first floor lobby is interesting. The penthouse has a great view with the Santa Fe sign out front. The old bar that is in the Chicago Architecture Foundation space is an underused gem.

ReplyDeleteBar? Never knew...
should check that out!!!
I think the original name for the building was the Railway Exchange Building. I worked for C. F. Murphy Associates from 1969 to 1975 and they were located in the building at that time. Glad the building's original features have been restored. When I worked there a "modern" storefront had disfigured the building. I remember the bar. It was on the west side of the first floor lobby, I think.
