What makes it special?
The Daley Center was named after one of Chicago's greatest mayors, Mayor Richard J. Daley. He was the father of the current mayor of Chicago, Richard M. Daley. The Daley Center also has one of Picasso's greatest works, "The Picasso," which was named that by the city because Picasso never got a chance to name the piece. The Daley Center is a great example of modern architecture.
