311 S. Wacker Drive


Walking west from state street on Jackson, I looked up and saw this amazing beacon of light. Turns out the building is simply called 311 South Wacker Drive.

Because of the brightly lit crown (the beacon of light on my walk home), it is also known as the "white castle building", wedding cake, the "bart simpson" building. But according to my friend the "crown" of the building is supposed to represent the engagement ring given by the architect to his wife.

How romantic.
