Notes
- Originally the world's tallest marble-clad structure.
- Tallest building in Chicago until the completion of the Willis Tower the following year.
- The original Carrara marble slabs turned out too thin and the building had to be reclad.
- The marble was replaced by thicker slabs of North Carolina speckled granite in 1990-1992.
