Chicago’s 168 Michigan Avenue Restoration
Boston Valley Terra Cotta is making progress on the restoration of the façade of the former 1916 Atlantic Bank Building at 168 Michigan Avenue in Chicago. This long-vacant, century-old high-rise in now undergoing a remarkable transformation and there’s great anticipation to return the beautiful white terra cotta façade to its original glory. When completed, plans for this historic restoration project include an upscale hotel set to open Spring of 2018.
