Address: 55 W. Washington St. Year Built: 1927 Architect: Graham, Anderson, Probst & White Date Designated a Chicago Landmark: November 6, 2002

The 38-story Pittsfield Building is one of downtown Chicago's most distinctive skyscraper designs. The city's tallest building at the time of its completion, the building was designed by Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, one of the city's most distinguished architectural firms during the 1910s and 20s.The building's handsome design, combining both Art Deco and Gothic detailing, is a creative response to the city's 1923 zoning ordinance which encouraged skyscrapers with setback towers. The interior of the building features an outstanding five-story atrium embellished by glowing marbles, gleaming brasses and carvings in a Spanish Gothic style.
