Monadnock Building; South Addition
No full textEast and south elevation of the Monadnock building depicting the south addition by Holabird and Roche; The seventeen-story building stands 197 feet (60 meters) tall. The northern half was designed and built by Burnham & Root in 1889-1891; the southern half was designed and built by Holabird & Roche in 1891-1893. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on November 14, 1973 and was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The southern half of the building was built using the more technologically advanced steel frame construction, which allowed narrower piers and wider windows. The radical difference in construction between the two halves marks the building's place in architectural history at the end of one building tradition and the beginning of another.

Pontiac Building
No full textClose side view, depicting the entry; "This is Holabird and Roche's oldest surviving building in Chicago. Sparse in decoration, its liveliness is based on its window treatments. The massive bays are trimmed with red terra-cotta. This 14-story fireproof riveted steel frame building of dark brown masonry has tile arch floor slabs, ornamental red terra-cotta and a sandstone base. Projecting bays above the second floor level (with 'Chicago Style' windows) run continuously from the third to the thirteenth floor." p. 144 Source: Bach, Ira J.; Chicago on foot; walking tours of Chicago's architecture, 2d ed., Chicago: J.

Schlesinger & Meyer Building
No full textOrnamental cast-iron work, display windows on State Street, detail of decorative cast-iron work where window spandrels meet; Built in 1899 for the retail firm Schlesinger & Meyer, and expanded and sold to Carson Pirie Scott in 1904.Addition by Burnham in 1905, later addition by Holabird and Root, 1960; both additions follow Sullivan's original plan. "For the remainder of the 1890s Sullivan concentrated on producing a series of brilliant 'skyscraper' designs. Of the nineteen such designs conceived between 1890 and 1901, nine were executed. The Carson Pirie Scott Store (1898-1904) in Chicago is the most minimal, with the broad grid of its steel structure frankly exposed." To this Sullivan added Art Nouveau ornamentation based on plant forms. The Carson Pirie Scott Store was his last large urban structure.
