Architect Helmut Jahn has a world-wide presence with the many building's he's designed. At least in the Chicago area, his most famous structures are Chicago's State of Illinois Building, and the United Airlines Terminal at O'Hare Airport.One of his lesser-known works is the Shure Building on the corner of Touhy and Lehigh in Niles, Illinois, located just a half mile east of the Niles Leaning Tower.
I took this photo about an hour ago from Lehigh. Those are the Milwaukee Road railroad tracks in the foreground.
The HA-LO Corporation was originally the primary tenant of the building, but they had to unload the building after a 2002 bankruptcy.
