Thirty Five East Wacker, also known as the Jewelers' Building, is a historic skyscraper nestled at the intersection of Wacker Drive and North Wabash Avenue in downtown Chicago. Built in 1927, this 40-story tower is a striking example of Art Deco and Beaux-Arts architecture, featuring ornate stonework, curved corners, and a distinctive dome that once housed a speakeasy. Its location along the Chicago River makes it an exceptional spot for urban photography, with golden-hour light casting dramatic shadows across its intricate façade. The building's rooftop and nearby bridges provide compelling angles for capturing the city's architectural depth. Easily accessible by foot or public transit, this landmark is a favorite for both daytime shots and nighttime cityscapes. (Chicago, Illinois, USA)
