79 W. Monroe St., the former Bell Federal Savings & Loan headquarters, is a 15-story neoclassical building designed by Jarvis Hunt and completed in 1903. The building’s most distinctive feature is the iconic Weather Bell sign, installed in the early 1960’s, which changes color as it predicts changes in temperature.
