| Description The original marble cladding of Aon Centre bowed under the temperature swings experienced in the Chicago climate. The cladding was 32mm (1.25") thick Itallian Carrera Marble (similar to what Michaelangelo used), but 20 years after original construction it had severly deteriorated. The marble was replaced with 51mm (2") thick Mt. Airy Granite at a cost of $80M between 1990 and 1992 (43,000 individual 1.27m x 1.14m [50" x 45"] panels). The original construction cost in 1973 was a mere $120M The building is 59.1 meters wide (194 feet), with 4.6 meter indents (15 feet). |

| Description - Architect: H. Craig Severance - Originally the headquarters of the Bank of Manhattan. The Bank of Manhattan later became the Chase Manhattan Bank, which is now part of JP Morgan Chase. It no longer has offices at 40 Wall. - This building was the world's tallest for a brief time in 1930, when it beat the Chrysler Building to completion in a year-long race. Then the Chrysler's builders had an extra-tall spire jacked up above the Bank of Manhattan's flagpole, claiming victory. - On May 20th 1946, a U.S. Coast Guard plane (a small twin engined plane) hit the building at the 58th floor, killing 4. The building was relatively undamaged. - Donald Trump bought the building in 1995. He intended to convert part of it to condos, but the office market became strong again and the space was simply leased out as offices. |
