Aon Center<br />

1,136ft<br />

A joint project by The Perkins and Will Partnership and Edward Durell<br />

Stone firms, Chicago’s Aon Center was completed in 1973 under the<br />

name ’Standard Oil Building.’ Upon completion, it was the world’s tallest<br />

marble-clad building, covered in 43,000 pieces of Italian marble.<br />

In 1992, the building was re-covered in white granite, at an estimated<br />

cost of over $80mn. The Aon Center has 83 floors, making it the<br />

third-tallest building in the city.<br />
