Hotels
The London Guarantee Building, now better known as 360 North
Michigan Avenue, is a remarkable landmark in Chicago,
situated at a prominent site at the Chicago River at
the termination of Wacker Drive.Construction
It was built by Alfred Schuler for the London Guarantee
and Accident Company, just after the completion of the
neighbouring Wrigley building
in 1922.
Classical Influences
Due to the special shape of its site, the 22-story
limestone building has a trapezoidal ground plan. It
is full of classical references: the central arched
entrance is flanked by four corinthian columns; the
3 top stories above the 15th floor repeat the row of
classical columns. The construction is topped by a Greco-Roman
tempietto.
