Explain contributing and noncontributing resources if necessary. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, setting, size, and significant features.) Summary Paragraph The West Loop - LaSalle Street Historic District is located on the west side of the Chicago Loop, and is centered on LaSalle Street, extending from the bridge over the Chicago River south to the Chicago Board of Trade Building on Jackson Boulevard. The district extends east and west to varying degrees, up to two blocks in either direction, and includes a total of approximately 70 acres, or roughly 16 square blocks. The district includes a total of 72 resources, which consists of 70 buildings and 2 structures. The buildings have a mix of private and public ownership and a range of uses. Primary uses are currently commercial with a strong presence of governmental uses and limited residential, religious, theater and hotel uses. Most buildings within the district were historically used for similar purposes, with a strong concentration of commercial and governmental buildings. Supplemental historic uses include religious buildings, and a theater and hotel. Structures within the district consist of the elevated train structure and station as well as the bridge over the river, all of which continue to be used for transportation. Most resources within the district retain their original appearance and the district as a whole possesses high integrity both in its overall streetscapes and its individual resources. Buildings within the district are typically of masonry construction and range from 1 to 49 stories. A majority of the buildings are high rises, with over half ranging between 10 and 25 stories and a smaller percentage above 25 stories. As this is a dense, urban district, buildings were generally built up to the sidewalks and many share party walls with adjacent buildings. Windows of the early buildings in the district were typically wood or steel and many buildings had storefront openings along the sidewalk facades. Later buildings, additions and remodeled facades feature curtain walls of glass, metal and composite materials. The buildings of the district were constructed in a range of architectural styles, including: Art Deco, Classical Revival, Chicago School, Romanesque Revival and International. Changes such as cornice removal, window replacement and storefront alterations have been made to varying degrees. However, despite changes, most historic resources continue to convey their historic appearance. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description Resources within the district have been assigned numbers and are keyed to the attached district map. These numbers are referenced in the following text. The West Loop - LaSalle Street Historic District is located at the west side of Chicago’s downtown Loop, which is at the heart of Chicago’s central business district. The Loop was named for the elevated train track system that encircles the central portion of Chicago’s downtown before radiating out to other areas of the city. The district setting is intensely urban, located at the center of one of the largest cities in the U.S. The district extends from the LaSalle Street Bridge (#1) over the north branch of the Chicago River, south to the Board of Trade Building (#71) at the foot of LaSalle Street. The district is characterized by the canyon effect created along LaSalle Street by massive buildings built up to the sidewalk and maintaining a continuous facade line along the length of the street. This facade line is broken by new construction in limited locations at the north end of the district. However, the vista from the LaSalle Street Bridge is absolutely intact and is nicely framed by Classical and Art Deco styled buildings. Chicago’s downtown, like most of the city, was laid out along a rectilinear street grid. Streets within this district generally follow the established grid with one notable deviation. This occurs at the foot of LaSalle Street, where the street ends at Jackson Boulevard, forming a T intersection. Historically, LaSalle Street shifted half a block east at this point, creating a narrow, half block section at the foot of LaSalle Street. This deviation from the established grid allowed for the visual drama of the Board of Trade Building (#71) that forms the south termination of the LaSalle Street canyon. The block of LaSalle Street, between Jackson Boulevard on the north and Van Buren Street to the south, has been vacated and now serves as a plaza with pedestrian pass-through under a modern addition to the Board of Trade Building. 3 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 (Expires 5/31/2012) West Loop - LaSalle Street Historic District Cook, Illinois Name of Property County and State Downtown blocks average about 320-400 feet long and most are bisected

Final Landmark Recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, August 7, 2014 CITY OF CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is re- sponsible for recommending to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city per- mits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recom- mendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment dur- ing the designation process. Only language contained within a designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. 2 CAIRO SUPPER CLUB BUILDING (ORIGINALLY WINSTON BUILDING) 4015-4017 N. SHERIDAN RD.
