North-Northwest	Hesler Panorama
	Randolph Street directly north of the Courthouse featured two very noteworthy buildings at either end of the block, the five-story store-and-office building at the west end that is pictured here, the Sherman House at the east. Between them one sees what the fastidious Cook called "a depressed line of two-story tumble-down frames, dating from the thirties, the street floors devoted to free lunch resorts, while the second stories were polluted by so-called 'justice' offices, and their 'shyster' hangers-on." Architect Helmut Jahn's strikingly contemporary James R. Thompson Center has replaced them all.
