<P> The 141 W. Jackson address hosted the former tallest building in Chicago designed by William W. Boyington before the current Holabird & Root structure , which held the same title for over 35 years until being surpassed in 1965 by the Richard J. Daley Center . The current structure is known for its art deco architecture , sculptures and large - scale stone carving , as well as large trading floors . An aluminum , three - story art deco statue of Ceres , goddess of agriculture ( particularly grain ) , caps the building . The building is a popular sightseeing attraction and location for shooting movies , and its owners and management have won awards for efforts to preserve the building and for office management . </P>
