SIX STAR REVIEW A personal favorite, do not miss the lobby (only opened on weekdays) Superb Art Deco building designed by Holabird and Root and completed in 1930. Wikipedia says: The current structure is known for its Art Deco architecture, sculptures and large-scale stone carving, as well as large trading floors. An aluminum, three-story Art Deco statue of Ceres, goddess of agriculture (particularly grain), caps the building. The building is a popular sightseeing attraction and location for shooting movies, and its owners and management have won awards for efforts to preserve the building and for office management. The building was listed as a Chicago Landmark in 1977 and a National Historic Landmark and National Register of Historic Places honoree in 1978.

We went during Chicago Open House and got to see the vault. Excellent examples of art deco design, and a cool little tour of the vault with great tour guide telling stories of how it used to work back in the day.

The CBOT as it's called, iykyk. 10 years of my life was on the trading floor of this historical building. I've told many of stories but you just had to be there. Met some life long friends, made some money, probably lost more, lol. However, it can't be explained. Just watch this movie with Leo Decap named "The Wolf Of Wallstreet" it's about 90% accurate.

Beautiful building. Love the architecture.
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
This building was the tallest building from 1930 until 1965. The trading floor hasn't been open to the public since 2001, but the building is still incredible to visit.
The Chicago Architecture Foundation does an Art Deco tour that stops at CBOT.
The trading floor hasnt been open to the public since 2001. The floor observation area is still open by appointment only via invitation from a member firm.
It is open. You can walk through the lobby to enjoy the art deco lobby. It closes I below around 6pm.
Hi Edward. I don't think that's a question for the building. You should probably reach out to a trader directly?

Once again it is not a stock exchange. Futures contracts and future options. The CBOT originally traded Grain futures, notably corn,wheat and oats. Soybean futures were added later. Financial futures were added in the 70's, making the CBOT, a truly international player in the government bond markets. Primarily with the 30 year Treasury Bond contract.
