The Sullivan Center, formerly Carson Pirie Scott, is a Chicago landmark at State and Madison, once known as the world’s busiest corner. Designed by Louis Sullivan in 1898, the building showcases his organic architectural style with ornate cast-iron details and a white terra cotta façade. A pioneer of steel-frame construction, it offered expansive interiors and adaptability. Now home to offices, Target, and the School of the Art Institute, the building remains a symbol of Chicago’s commercial and architectural heritage. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1975.
