Notes
  • Significance: The Fisher Building is a large office building designed by the firm of D. H. Burnham & Co. in 1895. It has been cited by the Chicago Landmarks Commission and it is indicative of the level of achievement in skyscraper design attained by architects of the Chicago School. The steel cage structure is sheathed in a curtain wall of decorative terra cotta and glass, providing ample space and light for the occupants, and making it possible for the building to be erected relatively quickly and economically.
