The Singer Building is a skyscraper located at 120 S. State St. in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. The ten-story building was designed by Mundie & Jensen and built from 1925 to 1926. The building's Gothic Revival design features terra cotta decorations, piers at the corners, and sets of three double-hung windows on each story separated by two thin piers. The Singer Corporation initially used the building as office space; the building has had many owners since the Singer Corporation left the building, and was nearly demolished in the 1970s. It is currently owned by FDN Network.[1]
The Singer Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 10, 1983.
