The building fills a full block. Sullivan had a dictum: a skyscraper, he said, must be a proud and soaring thing. Well, this one doesn't soar. It goes up with an easy gait, stops, and that's it. It's a machine for business. The main floor has few public areas - a modest lobby, a fairly impressive staircase, and a high-ceilinged wing leading to more offices. Modern renovations are few - from the letter box to the grain elevators embossed on the elevator doors, most of the original details are still here, buffed and polished.
