Willis Tower (Sears Tower)

Willis Tower, formerly known as Sears Tower, is an iconic skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, and stands as one of the tallest buildings in the Western Hemisphere. Completed in 1973, the 110-story structure reaches a height of 1,450 feet (442 meters) and was the tallest building in the world for 25 years. It remains a defining feature of the Chicago skyline and is renowned for its innovative architectural design by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The tower's Skydeck, located on the 103rd floor, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city and beyond, attracting over a million visitors annually. One of the Skydeck's most thrilling features is "The Ledge," a series of glass boxes extending 4.3 feet from the building, allowing visitors to look straight down to the streets below. Willis Tower is not only a marvel of engineering but also a symbol of Chicago's architectural prowess and urban vibrancy.
