Northwest Tower Building (Coyote Building)
Northwest Tower Building (Coyote Building) Review
This striking triangular Art Deco building is the anchor of the North Milwaukee-Damen intersection. The 12-story office building on North Avenue is used as a reference point from miles around. It was built in 1929. According to the Chicago Tribune, some artists first called this the Coyote Building in the 1980s: they thought that the base attaching the flagpole to the rest of the tower "resembled a coyote howling at the moon."
