The Old Colony Building, now known as The Arc at Old Colony, is a 17-story Chicago School skyscraper at 407 S. Dearborn Street in Chicago's Loop. Designed by Holabird & Roche and completed in 1893–94, it was the tallest building in Chicago when built and was the first tall building to use internal portal arches to brace the structure against high winds. It is a Chicago Landmark and a National Register of Historic Places listing, and it was converted to apartments in 2015.
