We are located in the iconic Chicago Temple Building on the corner of Washington and Clark Streets, Downtown Chicago. At 568 ft it was the tallest building in Chicago when completed in 1924. This status lasted until 1930 when the Chicago Board of Trade was built. Photo credit: Left – C.1953 unknown photographer; Right – Antoine Taveneaux via Wikimedia Commons
