Illinois Trust & Savings Bank

The Illinois Trust & Savings Bank dominates an entire city block on Chicago's North Side. Elegant, stark-white Corinthian columns line a wide, marble staircase leading up to the bank's stately, copper-plated double doors. The building feels as though it's been transported through time - a Roman temple somehow displaced to the steel-and-glass streets of modern America.

The interiors of the bank reflect its temple-like, neo-Classical exterior. High, vaulted ceilings are decorated with intricate tile-work. The patterned marble floors are polished to near-mirror shine. Sculptures depicting the faces of notable local heroes and politicians sit upon raised platforms. The smell of money and wealth permeates the air.The Illinois Trust & Savings Bank dominates an entire city block on Chicago's North Side.
