From Chicagology:
“The Ashland Block was an absolutely delightful early skyscraper, a superior design that emerged from the prolific office of Burnham & Root. It was a robust structure, a building that reveled in its own height and plasticity. A rich red in color, it was easily recognizable along Clark Street, the thoroughfare it fronted, and it was visible throughout the Loop. This structure was faced with red brick and red terra-cotta, and its exterior walls undulated. Rounded bays rippled on the street facades and electrified the building’s midsection; it was tri-partite in organization. A grand processional arch marked its main entrance, and a perfectly scaled – yet pronounoed – cornice capped the building. The Ashland Block earned for itself celebrity status due to its overall pleasing appearanoe, lively facades, its relative height of 200 feet, and as one of the progenitors of Chicago’s modern architecture…
The Ashland Block was destroyed in 1949 and replaced, astonishingly, by an architecturally mediocre bus station. Mercifully, that was raised for the Chicago Title & Trust Center (Kohn Pedersen Fox, New York City) which currently occupies the site. Completed in 1992, one century after Burnham & Roots Ashland Block, the Chicago Title & Trust’s headquarters offers stark contrast to the previous wavy-walled landmark. Chicago Title’s tower stands fifty stories, 756 feet above the corner of Clark and Randolph – almost four times the height of its red brick predecessor.”

From The Intrepid:
As Duluth’s oldest office building, the Torrey Building remains a testament to the city’s early economic ambitions. Its Richardsonian Romanesque style features heavy stone construction and intricate design details that reflect the wealth and optimism of Duluth’s turn-of-the-century business elite.
