Elevator Grille from the Chicago Stock Exchange, Chicago, Illinois

A wall fragment with five metal grill panels—two small horizontal rectangular panels at the top and three larger vertical ones on the bottom. Vertical bars dominate the design, with cross bars forming 90-degree angles. The upper and lower registers of the three large panels feature geometric designs.
