Summary[edit]

Description

The Delaware Building is a building in the Chicago Loop built in the massive rebuilding effort after the 1871 Great Chicago Fire. It is significant for being one of the few buildings to maintain its 1870's character, as an Italianate structure, in an area dominated by more modern structures. The building is also notable for its early use of a precast concrete façade. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on November 23, 1983 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 18, 1974. As built, the building had five floors with a basement. The first two stories were primarily metal and glass to provide storefront windows for displays. In 1889, two additional floors were added, and three bays were removed from the Randolph Avenue façade.

Delaware Building est un bâtiment d'architecture de style italienne situé dans le quartier du Loop à Chicago. Construit durant la reconstruction massive du centre-ville de Chicago après les ravages du grand incendie de Chicago en 1871. Il est connu pour être l'un des rares bâtiments à maintenir son caractère des années 1870, dans un secteur de la ville dominé par des structures plus modernes. Le bâtiment se distingue également par sa façade en béton préfabriqué. Le bâtiment a été désigné Chicago Landmark le 23 novembre 1983 et fut inscrit au registre national des lieux historiques le 18 juillet 1974. Le bâtiment comprend cinq étages et un sous-sol. En 1889, deux étages supplémentaires ont été ajoutés.
