Chicago Capitol Plan to Replace Masonic Temple Tower
The Capitol building at State and Randolph, once the Masonic Temple, will be razed for a modern two story structure. Erected in 1892 before the World Columbian Expo, it was once the world’s tallest office building. Visitors in the gay nineties sought views from its summit, but modern high rises now obscure the skyline.

The structure is now seen as wasteful and a relic of former prominence.
