Striking Architecture
芝加哥商品交易所的点评
点评：One of the very impressive, 1930s skyscrapers in the Loop area of Chicago is a 604 ft. (184 m) tall Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Building, designed in the Art Deco style by Holabird & Rood architects, and built in 1930. The original building of CBOT (built in 1885) was demolished in 1929.
You can see this tall, 44-storey skyscraper from afar, when walking south on S La Salle St. CBOT is located on W Jackson Boulevard, facing the other monumental, financial buildings on S La Salle St. The CBOT building looks striking, no matter when the photos are taken: day and night, this building is spectacular!
Made of gray limestone, the building has a copper pyramid roof, atop of which there's an iconic statue of Ceres -- the Roman goddess of grain. The 31ft. (9.4 m) aluminum sculpture weights 6.500 lbs (3.25 tons), it was created by sculptor John H. Storrs. The CBOT building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, (1978), is designated National Historic Landmark (1978), and Chicago Landmark (1977).
We briefly visited the CBOT large, opulent lobby; security was attentive and friendly. The trading activity is now done in the new expansions of the building, and the whole infrastructure of the building has been substantially upgraded. The plaza next to CBOT Building is a very pleasant place to spend some time: two sculptures (Industry and Agriculture), and the historical information on the site marker are very interesting; the whole area and a small, modest fountain on the plaza are an excellent photo op, and Ceres Cafe (lovely outdoors!) offers drinks and meals. I am glad that we visited this site, enjoyed the grand looks of Chicago Board Of Trade Building and a warm summertime!

翻译：芝加哥 Loop 区最令人印象深刻的 20 世纪 30 年代摩天大楼之一是 604 英尺（184 米）高的芝加哥期货交易所 (CBOT) 大楼，由 Holabird & Rood 建筑事务所设计，采用装饰艺术风格，建于 1930 年。CBOT 的原始建筑（建于 1885 年）于 1929 年被拆除。
沿着 S La Salle St. 向南行走，您可以从远处看到这座 44 层高的摩天大楼。CBOT 位于 W Jackson Boulevard，与 S La Salle St. 上的其他宏伟金融建筑相对。无论何时拍摄，CBOT 大楼都显得十分引人注目：白天和夜晚，这座建筑都十分壮观！
该建筑由灰色石灰石制成，拥有铜金字塔屋顶，顶部是标志性的谷神星雕像——罗马谷物女神。31 英尺高的屋顶是谷神星的雕像。 （9.4 米）铝雕塑重 6.500 磅（3.25 吨），由雕塑家 John H. Storrs 创作。芝加哥期货交易所大楼被列入国家史迹名录（1978 年），被指定为国家历史地标（1978 年）和芝加哥地标（1977 年）。
我们短暂参观了芝加哥期货交易所宽敞华丽的大厅；安保人员细心友好。交易活动现在在大楼的新扩建部分进行，大楼的整个基础设施已得到大幅升级。芝加哥期货交易所大楼旁边的广场是一个非常宜人的地方，可以消磨时间：两个雕塑（工业和农业）和场地标记上的历史信息非常有趣；整个区域和广场上一个小巧朴素的喷泉是绝佳的拍照机会，Ceres 咖啡馆（户外景色宜人！）提供饮料和餐点。我很高兴我们参观了这个地方，欣赏了芝加哥期货交易所大楼的宏伟外观和温暖的夏日！
