"Central Station was an intercity passenger terminalin downtown Chicago, Illinois, at the southern end of Grant Park near Roosevelt Road and Michigan Avenue. Owned by the Illinois Central Railroad, it also served other companies via trackage rights. It opened in 1893, replacing Great Central Station (on the site of the current Millennium Station), and closed in 1972 when Amtrak rerouted services to Union Station. The station building was demolished in 1974. It is now the site of a redevelopment called Central Station, Chicago."

It does have some design elements from the original WTC (I used MS Paint for it) and redesigned some parts of the 1WTC

I have a love hate relationship with this city!

Since it was noted Portland, OR hasn’t been featured much, here’s another post.
The Commonwealth Building. The first fully air conditioned office building.

It can pump out a bunch of 300+ meter skyscrapers and thats impressive thats true, however you need a 400+ to truly get on that world level. Fr no cap. And no CN tower is not a skyscraper, its an observation/communication tower.

Lots of new buildings popping up. I wonder what it will look like in the next 10 years.

Fun fact:
The city has a 92 metre (300ft) height limit for buildings so they don’t block the view of the lake from the escarpment

This is a follow up to the photo I posted yesterday; same spot but after dark. Taken in Jersey City.

From Wikipedia:
“The building has 14 stories, a steel frame, and a buff brick and terra cotta exterior. It is the only building by the firm to contain an exterior light court. The building also has a 14-story addition on its northeast side, designed by Eames & Young, built in 1905 and adhering to the original design.[1]
The first two stories of the building originally had ornate decorative elements. These included a large arched main entrance flanked by sculptural heraldic lions holding shields, with additional sculptural lions at the corners of the building. The unique ornamentation also included large round windows on the second story. All of these decorative elements were removed in either 1924 or 1927, replaced with more conventional exterior elements.”
