SKYLINES — So Long Santa Fe

The decades old “Santa Fe” sign adorning the top of the Santa Fe Building (otherwise known as the Railway Exchange Building) at 224 S. Michigan Avenue was removed yesterday. It was as a nice reminder of the many railroad companies that once held their offices in the 1904 Burnham and Company building. Coming in its place? A Motorola Solutions sign is on its way.

Well that stinks.
This makes me sad, but I’m so happy you blog about stuff like this! Thanks for always posting interesting material about Chicago. I am always happy when I see you have posted new stuff.
I have heard that the Santa Fe sign has been saved. It now resides at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, McHenry County, Illinois.
