Sketch # 6 - 35 E. Wacker - The Jewelers' Building

The Jewelers' Building

Designed by Joachim Giaver & Frederick Dinkelberg, the Jewelers' building was built in 1925.  A "high tech" building for it's day, it had an automobile elevator for safely transporting precious gems to any of the lower 23 floors.  The domed tower was originally a restaurant, and is now part of the office of Architect Helmut Jahn.
