Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. The building was built from 1906 to 1907 to serve as a temporary home for Chicago's Municipal Court. Jacob L. Kesner built the building, which was originally 12 stories tall, on a strip of land only {{convert|40|ft}} wide; Kesner was one of the few property owners willing to grant the Municipal Court a short-term lease. The building was completed later than planned, had less square footage than promised, and charged a higher rent than a competing offer from a warehouse, prompting Mayor Edward Dunne to conduct an ethics investigation into the approval of the building contract. The court only used the building until 1911; after it moved out, Kesner added another five stories to the building.[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 29, 1985.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Municipal Court Building, Michigan Avenue, Chicago|url=http://designslinger.com/2012/10/29/municipal-court-building-michigan-avenue-chicago.aspx|publisher=Designslinger|accessdate=June 26, 2013}} 7 : Chicago school architecture in Illinois|Government buildings completed in 1907|Courthouses on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|Courthouses in Illinois|Skyscraper office buildings in Chicago|National Register of Historic Places in Chicago|Municipal courts |
