Monadnock Building (Bonus)

The Loop, Chicago

A Preview

"This is a bonus stop for architecture nerds, and if you've made it this far, you probably qualify. The Monadnock Building is one of the most important buildings in architectural history, and it looks like a very large, very serious brick. That's not an insult. It's THE brick. THE serious brick. Here's why this matters — the Monadnock was built in two halves."
