Architect

Graham, Anderson, Probst, & White, originally as Graham, Burnham & Co.

Year Completed

1924

DETAILS:

Fully renovated by Wintrust in 2015, the 88,000 square-foot Grand Banking Hall on the 2nd floor of the Central Standard Building stands opposite the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, two neoclassical near-twins guarding the main intersection of Chicago's financial district. The company occupies multiple floors and has bankers who work from the hall. The dramatic interior includes a mix of neoclassical and Gothic Revival architecture with Art Deco influences. The 1924 building stands on the site of the former Grand Pacific Hotel, where the continental United States was officially divided into four standard time zones in 1883, an event commemorated by the building's name and a plaque on Jackson Street.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE:

Guests will be allowed to enter through the main doors at 231 S LaSalle and go up the escalators to the second floor and view the Grand Banking Hall from the top of the escalators, not going past the security desk.
