| Description | View southwest along the Chicago River from North Michigan Avenue looking towards three high-rise towers: the United Insurance Building (now Unitrin Building) located at 1 East Wacker Drive, the Leo Burnett Building (35 West Wacker Drive) and R. R. Donnelley Building (now United Airlines Building) located at 77 West Wacker Drive. The much smaller 55 West Wacker (originally Blue Cross-Blue Shield Building) stands between the Leo Burnett Building and the R. R. Donnelley Building. The former Sun-Times building is on the right of the image, and a corner of the Wrigley Building is in the foreground at the extreme right of the image. |
