Today's Two Views is of the
Smurfit-Stone Building (previously known as the Stone Container Building, but also referred to as "that diamond shaped building"). It's a very recognizable building in the Chicago skyline and is also known for a co-starring role in the movie "
Adventures in Baby-Sitting".

I always loved this building. I read that it is a bit of hazard in the winter when sheets of ice can slide off that smooth top and crash to the sidewalk below. I love that reflection shot!
ReplyDeleteI always wondered what the name of this building was. A very unique identifier in the Chicago skyline.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, I didn't know this building, or better I have seen it in movies or skyline photos, without knowing the name.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful building. Can't say the same about the movie.
ReplyDeleteFirst time at your site. Love the pictures. Although I miss the city, specifically the buildings and especially the airplanes, I have grown comfortable with the quiet in the northwoods. I will definitely re-visit your site for periodic doses!
ReplyDeleteI never knew the name of this building either...but I used to see it all the time, it really stands out on Lake Shore Drive...
