Santa Fe Building Review

Also known as the Railway Exchange Building, this structure was designed in 1904 by Daniel Burnham, who later moved his office here. The "Santa Fe" sign on its roof was put up early in the 20th century by the Santa Fe Railroad, one of several railroads that had offices here when Chicago was the rail center of the country.

Chicago Architecture Foundation. The CAF uses the atrium of the Santa Fe building for changing exhibits about the changing landscape of Chicago and other cities. The group also offers a variety of tours via foot, bus, and boat. 312/922-3432. www.architecture.org.
