The Reliance Building: A Building Book from the Chicago Architecture Foundation (Pomegranate Catalog, No. A661) Jay Pridmore

Book DescriptionDaniel H. Burnham & Co."s glass-covered Reliance Building, built in 1890-1891 and then extended to fifteen stories in 1895, is a granddaddy of today"s skyscrapers. The enormous flat and projecting bay windows invited abundant natural light, and the steel-frame structure, covered with twelve thousand pieces of white terra-cotta decorated with Gothic-style elements, was unique in office building construction.
