The expansion also added an entrance on Monroe Street and enlarged the lobby. In 1903, a fourteenth floor was added bring the building to its current height. The building is faced with brick and terra cotta trim in the classical style. Prior to the additions, a cornice and parapet encircled the top, however these were removed to accommodate the expansion. The lobby retains its Georgia gray marble cladding and mosaic tile floor. Light fixtures are deco and appear to be from the 1920s. The building received preliminary landmark status in 2002, but in 2006, Preservation Chicago considered the building one of Chicago's most threatened. In June of that year a company submitted an application to the Chicago Plan Commission including plans to renovate the structure and build , an adjacent 51 story office building. Later that month, the building was declared an official Chicago landmark, amended in 2009. In August 2014, announced it purchased the structure and would convert it to a 293-room Kimpton hotel that will include a rooftop restaurant, meeting rooms, and retail space. The hotel, officially named The Kimpton Gray Hotel, opened in 2016. (en)
