I find the history fascinating and the fact the building is still standing.

We recently purchased here at trevi square and recieve tons of natural light along with reduced heating and cooling because of the thick exterior walls. The location is excellent for working in the loop the Michigan ave address is an eye catcher too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509609441522285885.post-82743254016699778732009-09-24T04:46:02.708-07:002009-09-24T04:46:02.708-07:00Hi Samuel,

Unlike many modern buildings, which leave green space around themselves (which is often spread to thin to use), this type of building pushes itself to the lot lines and preserves a wonderful space on the interior of the block. This arrangement is also very efficient for daylighting because it keeps the wings of the building thin enough for natural light to reach the deepest part of each unit. Gotta love the beauty and practicality of it!Samuel John Limahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564084368277778423noreply@blogger.com
