The federal government said the empty building is not structurally safe, and they're worried about a possible collapse.
– A messy few weeks are coming up in the Loop because a building at State and Adams streets is set to be demolished."A recent conditions assessment found the non-historic building, which has been unoccupied for several years, is not structurally sound and presents risks, including potential facade collapse that would endanger pedestrians and street traffic," the U.S. General Services Administration said in a news release.
The Century and Consumers buildings – and another smaller building between them at 214 S. State St. – will not be affected by this demolition.for the fourth time this year. The takeover was based on security concerns in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, Preservation Chicago noted. The 16-story Century Building was designed by Holabird & Roche and completed in 1915. The 22-story Consumers Building was designed by Jenney, Mundie & Jensen and completed in 1913. Preservation Chicago said they were mainly occupied by"small businesses, attorney offices, and showrooms."
