The Central Standard Building features a mix of neo-classical, Gothic Revival, and Art Deco styles which all seamlessly blend to create an awe-inspiring site. The building gets its name from the convention which was held there in 1883 to divide the U.S. into the time zones we know today.
This Art Deco gem of a skyscraper features an iconic 3-story statue of Ceres, goddess of grain at its top and an expansive vault containing thousands of steel safe deposit boxes in the basement.
