Two North Riverside Plaza was designed by Holabird & Root as the headquarters of the Chicago Daily News. It was completed in 1929. Regarded as one of Chicago's premier Art Deco edifices, it was also groundbreaking in its urban design, with several firsts to its credit: • First in Chicago to have air rights over railroad tracks • First in America with an open-air plaza • First to take advantage of the Chicago riverfront as a visual and commercial. asset. The Chicago Daily News ceased operations in 1978 and the building has simply been known by its address since. The ramped concourse on the building's south side, which was originally the main lobby, now serves as the main entrance of the Ogilvie Transportation Center (formerly known as the Chicago & North Western Terminal). #Chicago #ChiTown #DowntownChicago #ArtDeco #Skyscraper #Modernism #ChiArchitecture #Chitecture #HolabirdandRoot #archi_ologie #BrickStory #ChicagoHome #VisitChiTown #EnjoyIllinois #ThisPlaceMatters (at Two North Riverside Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/COStl8Hjnw2/?igshid=92a4ka4r8gji
