Points of Interest
There are four sets of distinctive black bands wrapping
around the perimeter of the building which appear
between the 29th-32nd, 64th-65th, 88th-89th, and 104th-
109th floors. These black bands are actually louvers
which allow ventilation for service equipment and also
serve to hide the structure’s belt trusses which the
Willis, Roebuck & Company did not want to be visible.
