The City Investing Building had many names in its time, but none of them saved it from destruction. Starting as a project from a prolific designer, it hosted countless businesses as residents before facing demolition, one of the tallest of its time to fall as it did. In recent times, its echoes are silent, and its legacy lies mostly forgotten. Today, however, it comes out of the shadows once more.
