The credits are just the beginning.  Each has a story.  Over the next few weeks we will be looking at the Fisher's structural innovations, its fireproofing, elevators, and interior finishes.  It's expression of the Chicago School of Architecture.  And its personal stories.  But today, we celebrate the FISH.....

 

Lucius Fisher, I think,  must have had quite a sense of humor.  Fish... Fisher....  Get it ??
