Walk south on State Street to Monroe Street, then turn west -- or right -- to Dearborn. On the northwest corner of Monroe and Dearborn stands our next stop -- Chase Tower and Plaza.

Note that Chase Tower and its adjacent plaza are slated for renovation, so you may encounter construction activity. If you do -- stay clear, follow pedestrian related construction signage, and respect all construction barriers.

The Chase Tower, with its gracefully upward sloping walls, is another Chicago icon. Completed in 1969 and designed by architects C. F. Murphy Associates and Perkins and Will, it stands 850 feet and is the tallest building within the Loop's elevated 'L' tracks.

Originally the First National Bank of Chicago building, the bank has undergone numerous ownership changes -- First National Bank of Chicago, then BankOne, now Chase. The sunken plaza is a very inviting public space, and a favorite spot for workers on their lunch break.

On the east side of the plaza you’ll find a wall mosaic by famed artist Marc Chagall called Four Seasons. As the name implies, the mosaic -- containing thousands of chips and utilizing over 250 colors -- celebrates spring, summer, fall, and winter. It was a gift to the City of Chicago and was dedicated in 1974.
