Summary
| Description | United States Post Office-Chicago (1921). Anyone who has entered Chicago via the Eisenhower Expressway instantly recognizes the old Post Office Building, built in 1921 by Graham, Anderson, Probst & White, the firm was the successor to Burnham & Root after Daniel Burnham's sons left to form their own firm. Mail operations ceased in 1997. Today, the city can't figure out what the heck to do with the building. It recently sold it at auction, but can't yet meet the financial demands in the settlement, stalling the new project. It was intended to provide free parking to the south side of the Loop, but I have my doubts we'll ever see that. |
