The Willoughby Tower stands out on South Michigan Avenue because of its sharp, setbacks that rise like a tiered stone wedding cake. Completed in nineteen twenty-nine, it was designed by architects Samuel N. Crowen and William C. Jones as a medical and professional building. The lobby features intricate, golden-hued terracotta patterns and a ornate vaulted ceiling that retains its original flair. Surgeons and dentists once occupied the upper floors, moving between offices in an elevator system that still maintains its original brass-grille doors.
