Residents in the Loop trade evening street life for wind-whipped stone corridors once LaSalle Street offices empty after market hours.
Rising at the head of the LaSalle Street financial canyon, the Art Deco skyscraper operated as the primary marketplace for the Chicago Board of Trade and later CME Group. The exchange anchored global grain and commodities futures before ownership transferred to private commercial investors. Its monumental stone facade terminates vistas down the street, creating the definitive canyon view of the Loop.
Earlier headquarters suffered repeated disruptions before this tower rose. The Great Chicago Fire leveled an early exchange home, forcing temporary trades inside a wooden hall known as the Wigwam. Later foundation caissons sank into wet soil and became unstable when excavation started across the street for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Salvaged stone statues of Industry and Agriculture now stand in a nearby public plaza.
Beyond financial trading, the landmark shaped broadcasting and screen productions. Host Don Cornelius launched the dance show Soul Train in an upper studio before moving to Los Angeles. Film directors frequently use the exterior to represent Wayne Enterprises and Gotham municipal headquarters. The surrounding street canyon also provided backdrops for period crime dramas including The Untouchables.
