The London Guarantee Building or London Guaranty & Accident Building is a historic 1923 commercial skyscraper whose primary occupant since 2016 is the LondonHouse Chicago Hotel.[1] Formerly, for a time named the Stone Container Building,[2] it is located near the Loop in Chicago, and is one of four historic 1920s skyscrapers that surround the Michigan Avenue Bridge over the Chicago River (the others are the Wrigley Building, Tribune Tower and 333 North Michigan Avenue) and is a contributing property to the Michigan–Wacker Historic District. It stands on part of the former site of Fort Dearborn. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on April 16, 1996.[3]
