Chicago River and skyscrapers along Wacker Drive

 

View southwest along the Chicago River from North Michigan Avenue looking towards three high-rise towers: the United Insurance Building (1 East Wacker Drive), the Leo Burnett Building (35 West Wacker Drive) and R. R. Donnelley Building (77 West Wacker Drive). The much smaller 55 West Wacker (originally Blue Cross-Blue Shield Building) stands between the Leo Burnett Building and the R. R. Donnelley Building. The former Sun-Times building (demolished) is on the right, and a corner of the Wrigley Building is in the foreground at the extreme right.
