Notes
  • Significance: The Harrison Building, designed by Cope and Stewardson, was one of the earliest large scale commercial buildings constructed on Market Street. The well-proportioned structure is composed in the formula for skyscrapers created by Adler S. Sullivan and other architects of the :Chicago style"; emphasizing a base, a shaft, and a cap. The building exemplified newly developed construction technology, utilizing wrought iron Phoenix columns in the frame and the latest heating, ventilating and elevator systems. It is one of the few commercial buildings designed by Stewardson and Cope. The Harrison Building was an integral part of the commercial streetscape.
