| 説明 | Built in 1922-1924, this Romanesque Revival-style skyscraper was designed by Murgatroyd and Ogden along with Fugard and Knapp to serve as the Allerton Hotel, and was the first building in Chicago to feature setbacks, as mandated by the 1923 zoning law. The building stands 25 stories and 360 feet (110 meters) tall, and housed over 1000 rooms, many of which were apartment style, and meant to serve as long-term accommodation for tenants, with one of the most notable early tenants being Louis Skidmore, whom founded the architecture firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The building also contained amenities, including a library, sports facilities, and a solarium. The 23rd floor of the tower housed the Tip Top Tap Lounge from the 1940s until 1961, which is still advertised on the building’s north and south facades, and later became home to the Cloud Room in 1963, and has served as the Renaissance Ballroom since the 1990s. The building is clad in limestone at the base, which extends up to the sill line of the fourth floor windows, with roman arched bays, brick panels around the third floor windows, with gothic arches and trim at the first and second floor bays. Above the fourth floor sill line, the building is clad in red brick, with pilasters at the corners and between window bays between the fourth and eighteenth floors, with setbacks at the nineteenth floor, and chamfered corners at the corner towers above the nineteenth floor, arched windows at the 22nd and 23rd floors, balconies with machicolations at the 22nd floor, and hipped roofs, with the central tower rising an additional two stories above the corner towers, featuring signs mounted to the north and south facades, and an octagonal tower containing a chimney in the middle of the roof. The building was designated as a Chicago Landmark in 1998, and underwent a major renovation in 1998-1999 under the direction of Eckenhoff Saunders Architects, modernizing the hotel rooms and building systems, and restoring significant common areas within the building. The hotel reopened as the Allerton Crowne Plaza Hotel, remaining under the Crowne Plaza banner until after the building was sold in 2006, becoming The Allerton Hotel in 2007. The building underwent renovations around this time, and underwent more renovations after being sold in 2014, and is today known as the Warwick Allerton Hotel. |
