875 North Michigan Avenue, best known as the John Hancock Center, is a 1128ft (344m) tall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois (The two radio antennae, while not counted towards the building's official height, reach further to a total height of 1500ft (457m)). Designed by world-renowned Chicago-based architecture firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) and engineer Fazlur Khan, the building was completed in 1969. It's unique tapering trapezoidal massing, characteristic steel X-bracing, stark black color, and towering height made it an instant icon of the city.
Located near the Northern end of Michigan Avenue, the tower stands as a bookend to Chicago's mighty skyline.
Upon it's completion, it was 2nd tallest building in the world, behind only New York City's Empire State Building. It was also the second building ever constructed to have 100 floors. Today, it is only the 5th tallest in the city, yet it remains one of the most recognizable and most cherished.
