Visible from the street; the inside is private.
Three First National Plaza is a 57-story office tower at 70 West Madison Street in Chicago, completed in 1981 to designs by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Its sawtooth plan was chosen to minimize obstructions to nearby buildings and allows thirteen corner offices on lower floors and nine on upper floors. The façade is clad in Carnelian granite with 10-foot bay windows suggestive of traditional Chicago School architecture. Its nine-story atrium once held Henry Moore's "Large Internal-External Upright Form," which was removed and sold in 2016 after a lobby remodel.
