I copied the information below from Wikipedia. Had not realised it was the largest building in the world when opened in 1930.
The Merchandise Mart is a commercial building located in downtown Chicago, Illinois. When it was opened in 1930, it was the largest building in the world, with 4 million square feet (372,000 m2) of floor space.[1][2] The Art Deco structure is located at the junction of the Chicago River's branches. The building is a leading retailing and wholesale location, hosting 20,000 visitors and tenants per day in the late 2000s.[needs update]
Built by Marshall Field & Co. and later owned for over half a century by the Kennedy family, the Mart centralized Chicago's wholesale goods business by consolidating architectural and interior design vendors and trades under a single roof.[2] It has since become home to several other enterprises, including the Shops at the Mart, the Chicago campus of the Illinois Institute of Art, Motorola Mobility, the Grainger Technology Group branch of W.W. Grainger, and the Chicago tech startup center 1871.[5] It was sold in January 1998 to Vornado Realty Trust.[6]

Well now what did you expect in December? Spring and Autumn are the best time to visit most anywhere if you can. That’s coming from someone who hates hot weather.
Chicago DT can be fun to stay
It certainly is a great place to wonder around.

Thank you, there are a lot of tour boats and water taxis on the river this time of year.
Thank you Ann, you’re right about how huge it would have looked without the skyscrapers!🏙️
Love your word and you are spot on!
Hope he enjoyed the city. If you just walk by you really can’t appreciate how huge it is until you see it from across or on the river.
LOL…now that would be a horrendous job!
Thank you.
