Located in Chicago, Illinois (specifically the Chicago Loop) the Chase Tower was completed in 1969.  Being the 40th tallest building in the United States, the Chase Tower stands 869 feet (259 m) tall. The Chase Tower is home to the commercial and retail branch of the Chase Bank company.

The architects responsible for this iconic structure are C.F. Murphy Associates, Stanislaw Z. Gladych and Perkins and Will. The building is well known for its distinct curve, as the building extends into the sky. This eye-catching feat is achieved by slowly decreasing the width of the building as seen in the picture above.

The Chase Tower is also known for its plaza at the base of the building. This popular meeting place totes an elegant, sunken pit with a jet fountain and public space for eating. A large, colorful, ceramic wall mural known as the “Four Seasons” (gifted to the city by the artist Marc Chagall) sits above the sunken plaza with plants accenting the edge of the pit. The glass at the walls of the pit is Chicago’s largest Chase Bank branch touting 22 ATMs.
