444 N. LaSalle St Designation sensation: Council landmarks five buildings, two districts
Located at 444 N. LaSalle St., the Veseman Building is an unusually colorful and finely detailed terra cotta-clad building designed in a sophisticated version of the Art Deco style and, as such, is an exceptional example of small-scale Chicago commercial architecture. Terra cotta glazes in pastel hues are used extensively throughout the building to highlight Art Deco ornament.
