West Loop, Chicago
625 Adams
A modern, asymmetrical West Loop building on a CMU base, wrapped in limestone veneer at the storefront and lobby.
Alongside the architecturally striking buildings that line the Dan Ryan Expressway, 625 Adams catches the eye. The building stands on a CMU base that supports the whole structure, with interior CMU walls through the building and roof. Another impressive feature is the limestone veneer that wraps the storefront and the partitions inside the lobby. Structure and finish alike are masonry’s work — the block carrying the building, the limestone dressing its street face.
