Wow, great news. The Feds have decided not to tear these two down!!! "Century-old Loop skyscrapers to be preserved, federal agency decides Two century-old skyscrapers in the Loop will be preserved for future use as previous plans to demolish them were scrapped Friday. The U.S. General Services Administration released its final environmental impact report for the Century and Consumers buildings at 202 S. State St. and 220 S.
