Chicago Board of Trade
Chicago, IL -1930-
If you are a fan of the New York Central (like myself) you will undoubtedly know this building, also if you are a fan of Batman Begins, this is the Wayne Enterprises building, they changed the building for the Dark Knight. The LaSalle Street station that was served by the NYC and Rock Island railroads was across from this, but was raised for and expansion of the Board of Trade in 1983.
Outside of New York this is the tallest Art Deco building in the world, it was also the tallest building in Chicago till 1965. At the top of the building rests Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture. Also there are numerous sculptures relating to Native Americans and the Harvest.
