Suggestions for improving the article edit

After a superficial examination of this article and its topic, I have a few observations of how it should progress in order to expand beyond its current state as a start-class article.

More detailed mention should be made of the Everest Club, a restaurant on the top floor (40th floor) curently carrying a 4.7 Zaggat rating and a Michelin star.

It would also be worth mentioning the Buckingham Club, a private club on the upper regions of the building. Tge article currently only makes a vague mention of its connected Buckingham Club Hotel (a 21-room luxury boutique hotel).

Also, would need to find a source to confirm, but I beleive this might be the tallest building located along the Congress Parkway/Congress Street.

Content/background about its role as a building for the Chicago Stock Exchange and its relation to nearby buildings with similar roles (such as the Chicago Board of Trade) would immensely improve the article.

Discussion of its location rising over the LaSalle Street Station would be beneficial. The building was built in conjunction with the current station. It would also be worthwhile to make mention of the building's relation to the Chicago Pedway.

It would be worth mentioning its other transit connections (the LaSalle/Van Buren el station and LaSalle blue line subway station)

Mention of the large (now disused) attached trading floor which straddles above the Congress Parkway would be beneficial.
