Municipal Courts Building (Chicago, Illinois)
The Municipal Courts Building, also known as the Lake View Building, is a skyscraper located at 116 S. Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The building was built from 1906 to 1907 to serve as a temporary home for Chicago's Municipal Court. Jacob L. Kesner built the building, which was originally 12 stories tall, on a strip of land only wide; Kesner was one of the few property owners willing to grant the Municipal Court a short-term lease. The building was completed later than planned, had less square footage than promised, and charged a higher rent than a competing offer from a warehouse, prompting Mayor Edward Dunne to conduct an ethics investigation into the approval of the building contract. The court only used the building until 1911; after it moved out, Kesner added another five stories to the building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://designslinger.com/2012/10/29/municipal-court-building-michigan-avenue-chicago.aspx )〕
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1985.〔
