The Warwick Allerton stands out on Michigan Avenue for the Italian Renaissance tower topped by a distinctive, tiered crown that glows with neon lighting at night. When Robert Allerton commissioned the building in nineteen twenty-four, he envisioned a residential hotel for young, ambitious professionals. He insisted on high ceilings and fine masonry to attract residents who valued privacy and status. Even now, the lobby retains the original wood paneling and marble floors that greeted the first tenants a century ago.
