Originally built in 1923 as the London Guaranty and Accident Building, the tower gained further fame from the 1950s through the early 1970s when its ground floor housed the legendary London House jazz supper club, a stage for Herbie Hancock, Oscar Peterson, Sarah Vaughan, and Ramsey Lewis. Oxford Capital Group redeveloped and reopened the property as the 452-room LondonHouse Chicago, Curio Collection by Hilton.
