Notes
  • Significance: The Chicago Skyway toll plaza is an important eastern gateway to the city. The roadway sits atop an administrative and maintenance building, a uniquely compact arrangement dictated by its urban site. In their International-style architectural expression and interior program, the toll plaza and service building reflect their designers' vision of a truly modern highway. This self-sufficient complex once included a police station as well. Other features, novel at the time of construction, included automatic toll collection, a heated-slab snow-melt system in the toll plaza, and salt hoppers filled from the roadway above.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N647
