Summary

[edit]
Description

The art deco style building with a 32-foot aluminum statue of the Roman Goddess of Agriculture, Ceres, looking down on the entire city's fortune [most likely chuckling] and holding a sack of corn (or money) in one hand and wheat in the other.

The Chicago Board of trade was founded in 1848 and remains the oldest futures and options exchange in the US while dealing with mainly wheat, corn, oats, soybeans and long-term financial instruments. The tall windows underneath the clock originally housed a 6-story trading floor. Due to space issues, the trading floor was split horizontally into two levels in 1975. The original building is a 45-story tower above a 9-story base.
