One of the few Loop structures surviving from the massive rebuilding that followed the Fire of 1871, this Italianate-style building features a cast-iron base topped with a precast concrete facade on its upper floors. An 1889 remodeling made it competitive with newer and larger commercial buildings by adding two floors, a dramatic steel-framed interior atrium, and redesigning the first two floors.
