•• Chicago Nights ••
The Reid Murdoch building stands as a striking example of Chicago’s architectural excellence, with its masonry construction and ornate detailing recalling the city’s industrial glory of the early 20th century. Erected in 1914 by architects George C. Nimmons and William C. Presto, it initially served as a cold storage warehouse, symbolizing the city’s dominance in commerce and trade.
Throughout its storied history, the building has undergone transformations, adapting to the changing needs of the times. From its days as a warehouse, it transitioned to house city offices and later became home to a television studio.
Today, the Reid Murdoch building continues to captivate with its architectural splendor, while its facade serves as a canvas for breathtaking light show displays. These contemporary installations breathe new life into the historic structure.
The Reid Murdoch Building is located along the Chicago River between the Clark Street and La Salle Street Bridges in downtown Chicago.
