In the late 1910s, Michigan Avenue was raised one level from around Randolph Street to Grand Avenue, between which the old road was kept as a lower level.
The new Michigan Avenue Bridge over the Chicago River, and presumably the rest of the double-decker road, opened in May 1920, and Michigan Avenue became the primary route between the Loop and northern Chicago.
North of the shopping center can be found the famous John Hancock Center, the art deco Palmolive Building (also known as the Playboy Building) and the lavish Drake Hotel.
