John Hancock Center
-
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill designed this 1970 landmark using the signature X’s on the facade as cross-braces to help the 1,100-ft (335-m) building withstand the winds coming off Lake Michigan. An alternative to soaking up the view from the 94th-floor observatory is drinking it in from the Signature Room restaurant and lounge on the floors directly above. Many say you get a better view from here than from the South Side’s Sears Tower – and the lines are usually shorter too.
