Angela's favorite building of chicago

The Monadnock Building is an architectural staple in Chicago's history. The building is a testament of a transitional era in construction: from load-bearing to steel-frame. This historic skyscraper is a fascinating example of architectural evolution and for educators and students alike, it is an invaluable case study in understanding the transition from traditional to modern construction methods. It stands as a tangible timeline of the technological advancements in the field of architecture.
