Merchandise Mart

Concrete and steel edifice along the Chicago River. The Merchandise Mart Building opened in 1930.
A symbol of the Roaring Twenties, when it was finished, the markets had crashed.
When it opened it was considered the largest building constructed with 4 million square feet.
Until 2008, it had it's own zip code. It's still something to see!
View from the LaSalle Street Bridge.
