Description
This was the 14th-floor hallway in our hotel in Chicago. Chip, Corey and Yvonne will recognise it immediately!
The Reliance Building, so named for its functionality, opened in March 1895. It was one of the first skyscrapers to offer electricity and phone service in all of its offices. In its first few decades, it provided office space for merchants and health professionals, including Al Capone's dentist.
(... from Wikipedia)
It seemed as though Sam Spade may have had an office on the 5th floor. We never caught sight of him, but thought we saw his secretary at one point. I don't think any of us imagined Al Capone's dentist! (Room 809, if you're curious. We stayed in 1408.)
For those of you interested in architectural history, here's a link to the Wiki on the Reliance Building.

Almost identical to the pic in the Wikipedia description, except your light fittings are much brighter - which is not a bad thing - makes the marble walls more apparent ... I will always like that infinity depth effect of a that long carpeted hallway. BB

Outstanding perspective!! Wonderful marbled walls!

Great shot--looks a lot like a foto I took of a hallway very similar to this one. I love that perspective!!

Great depth, as well as capturing the charms of a bygone era. What popped into my head as I looked at this is the long tracking shot of Danny riding his big wheels down the haunted corridors of the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining"...

Next time in Chicago...room 809. Next time in Kansas City...the Savoy Grill to sit in Harry S. Truman's favorite booth for lunch. This hallway, identical on every floor I am sure, is very striking from this POV. Love it.
