It was the home of one of the nations most revered rock radio stations - WLS, as well as it's FM (WDAI) and of course, the legendary Paul Harvey broadcast from the 3rd floor. One of Chi town's most famous restaurants, The London House, was in the floor level. Lots of memories from working in that building in the 1970's. (I was with ABC).

The lobby ceiling is not to be missed. It was "discovered" under an ugly drop ceiling during the 2001 renovation.
