Palmolive Building Landmark

The Palmolive Building is a 37-story Art Deco skyscraper on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago, built in 1929 for the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company. The building, which was for a time known as the Playboy Building and whose roofline once bore large illuminated letters, housed the magazine's editorial offices for many years. Today, following a comprehensive renovation, it serves primarily as a residential complex with high-end condominiums, while the lower floors are used for offices and retail. As a historic city landmark, the building is listed both as a Chicago Landmark and on the National Register of Historic Places. You can admire its distinctive facade, a reminder of the building's rich history and its importance to the architecture of the metropolis.
