South LaSalle

The Chicago Board of Trade anchors the south end of LaSalle Street. Visitors are allowed into an observation room to see the classic form of trade in several markets, especially grain and other food items.

If you walk out the front door and down one block, the building on the right is The Rookery. Here we see the flying staircase designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as part of a 1905 remodeling of the lobby. Well worth a visit.
