It says, "1990: Miglin-Beitler, developer; Cesar Pelli & Associates, design architect; Schal Associates, contractor."

The Miglin in Miglin-Beitler is Lee Miglin, who was murdered by Andrew Cunanan in 1997. I gasped when I realized that.

I know the MCMXCI datestone at the bottom is hard to see because it is small, but I wanted you to be able to see it in the context of the building's postmodern architectural style. And the surveillance camera.

This building is 767 feet high (234 m), wow. But the Hearn plaque is trashy and gauche; it has ruined the entire building and the entire year of 1981.

Ah yes MCMXXV, very fancy, the 23-story clubhouse of the Union League Club of Chicago.

I still remember Charles Dawes in there, swanning around in his undershirt, that crooked banker. He was Coolidge's vice president.
