Michigan Avenue. The building, which was built in 1929, is an example of Art Deco architecture designed by Daniel and Hubert Burnham, sons of architect Daniel Burnham, and was designated a Chicago Landmark on May 9, 1996. Originally built as a high-rise office tower, the Carbide  Carbon Building was converted in 2004 to the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago.<br \/>\nThe exterior of the building is covered in polished black granite, and the tower is dark green terra cotta with gold leaf accents. According to popular legend, architects Daniel and Hubert Burnham designed the building to resemble a dark green champagne bottle with gold foil.[citation needed] Beginning on November 16, 2007, the gold-leaf tower was permanently illuminated at night.[1] The design of the building has been compared to the American Radiator Building in New York City.[2]<br \/>\nThe ground floor was originally designed to display products of the Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation\u2019s subsidiaries whose offices were in the building. The lobby features art deco bronze work and black Belgian Marble.<br \/>\nMichigan-Wacker Historic District<br \/>\nNRHP #78001124<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypta.co.za\/category\/images\/\">More Pretoria Images<\/a><\/p>\n<p><small>This <em>Union Buildings<\/em> image was automatically curated and published with <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP Robot<\/a> plugin \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CLICK HERE<\/a> to learn more about <a href=\"http:\/\/wprobot.net\/?ref=578\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WP Robot for WordPress<\/a> \u2013 a massive time and money saver.<\/small><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/submit\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read, Republish and Submit Press Releases to MyPR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This #Union Buildings tagged image is courtesy of Flickr.
