Chicago Tribune Paul Gapp LaSalle Languishes 1988-08-14 https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1988-08-14-8801220732-story.html 2020-01-02 Moriyama & Teshima Architects designed this building, making it the tallest building in Chicago designed by a Canadian architecture firm. Holabird & Root, whose predecessor firm had designed the Otis Building on the site in 1912, served as associate architects. The use of the lower facade of the Otis Building, an example of facadism, has received mixed reviews. Chicago Tribune architecture critic Paul Gapp lauded the reuse of the old facade as a brave gamble that paid off and "fits its financial canyon environs in fine fashion and friendly compatibility." Gapp particularly hailed the work of the structural engineering firm Cohen-Barreto-Marchertas in preserving the Otis Building's perimeter caissons. Gapp's successor Blair Kamin, in contrast, named it among downtown Chicago's ugliest buildings, calling it a "garish intruder" that "disrupts the stately architectural canyon of LaSalle Street with its blue and Ghostbusters-green upper stories". Chicago Tribune Blair Kamin Patrick T. Reardon Edifice Wrecks https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2006-07-26-0607250309-story.html 2006-07-26 2020-01-02 To Kamin, the mismatch between the old and new facades was "an object lesson in why facade-ectomies don't work." Vicinity 10 South LaSalle is located at the southwest corner of Madison and LaSalle streets in the LaSalle Street financial district. The LaSalle Street corridor is often referred to as a "canyon" due to the high number of skyscrapers there. Within the block, 10 South LaSalle adjoins 181 West Madison to the west and the Northern Trust Company Building to the south. Across the street, it faces Two North LaSalle (former site of the LaSalle Hotel) to the north, One North LaSalle to the northeast, and 11 South LaSalle to the east. 10 South LaSalle was built slightly earlier than its neighbor at 181 West Madison, and it was originally anticipated that both buildings might be part of a common design. As a result, the lobby at the western entrance, which faces onto a narrow pedestrian alley between the buildings, is more spacious than the lobby facing LaSalle Street. Although the building is within the West Loop–LaSalle Street Historic District, it is considered a "non-contributing" property due to its having been built so recently.Euer Danielle National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: West Loop - LaSalle Street Historic District http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/801903.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20200103045211/http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/801903.pdf dead 2020-01-03 Illinois Historic Preservation Agency 2020-01-02 2013-03-08 See also List of tallest buildings in Chicago References External links Official site 5933 https://www.emporis.com/buildings/116688 https://web.archive.org/web/20200103045205/https://www.emporis.com/buildings/116688 usurped January 3, 2020 Emporis building ID 116688 Emporis Chicago Architecture https://web.archive.org/web/20080513153214/http://www.chicagoarchitecture.info/Building/1084/10_South_LaSalle.php 2008-05-13 Category:Skyscraper office buildings in Chicago Category:Office buildings completed in 1986 Category:1986 establishments in Illinois
