Height and Ranking

The Chicago Board of Trade Building was the tallest building in Chicago for some 35 years by conventional definitions. At 530 feet (160 m) and 48 stories, One North LaSalle was the fourth tallest building (fifth tallest after the completion of the LaSalle National Bank Building) structure for approximately the same period. Other sources, however, claim this building was the tallest structure for approximately the same period defined by excluding items on top of the main building such as the Board of Trade Building's statue and pyramidal top, the steeple of the Chicago Temple Building, the pyramidal top of the Pittsfield Building, and the mansard roof of the Civic Opera House.^[2]^[5] The height differences are easily seen in scale depictions.^[6]
