Palmolive Building

Built for one of the world's leading soap manufacturers, this office building ("a monument to cleanliness") was the first commercial skyscraper built far from the Loop - at the northern end of Michigan Avenue. It was known as the Playboy Building from 1965 to 1989, when it served as headquarters for Playboy magazine.
