The Gothic Revival Singer Building in Chicago

Explore the architecture of the Singer Building on South State Street, a ten-story office building featuring terra cotta decorations.

Located at 120 S. State St. in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois, the Singer Building is a ten-story office building. The structure was designed by Mundie & Jensen and built from 1925 to 1926.

The building features a Gothic Revival design with terra cotta decorations, piers at the corners, and sets of three double-hung windows on each story separated by two thin piers. The Singer Corporation initially used the building as office space, and it has had many owners since they left the premises.

While the building was nearly demolished in the 1970s, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 1983. It is currently owned by FDN Network.
