Introduction

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange Building is located in Chicago, USA. It is a 45-story skyscraper and has been the home of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange since 1848. In order to meet the development needs of the exchange, the building was built in 1925 on its original site and was completed in 1930. It became a landmark of Chicago and was the tallest building in the city until 1965. Currently, the building is still used for futures trading. Due to its rich artistic decoration, including sculptures and large stone carvings, especially the three-story-high statue of the goddess in the atrium, the building has long been a popular tourist attraction in downtown Chicago, and many movies set in Chicago have included it as one of the scenes.
