It is the only example of the early work of Adler & Sullivan that survives in the Loop. It is also known as the Iwan Ries Building.

The building is a common loft building in construction and plan, but its facade departs dramatically from others of its type. An open exterior, using cast iron mullions rather than masonry piers in the central bay, and Sullivan's stylized floral ornament provide distinction.
