How many of you recognized 180 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, Illinois? I noticed on my original Owner’s Manual for my 47 H Farmall that address some time ago. I did not know that was the corporate headquarters for International Harvester Company until I bought the tractor a few years ago. I am from Kentucky and did know about the Louisville plant. I know people who worked there. I was in Chicago last week and decided to see what was at that address. I found the building and asked the security guard if he knew the history of the building. He said it was the headquarters for the International Harvester Company. I ask him if there was anything in the building from the past and he said only the elevator doors and the stairwell. I ask him if I could look around and he said ok. I walked up the stairs and thought about all the history and decisions made there in the past. He said it had been remodeled twice. The building had the same address and I suppose looked the same on the outside. It made me wonder if any of you have been there.
