| dc.description | View of east (front) façade, looking up; His first high-rise buildings resulted from a meeting in the mid-1940s with Herbert S. Greenwald, an active young developer with particular interests in the field of urban renewal. Promontory Apartments (1946-1949; with Pace Associates and Holsman, Holsman, Klekamp and Taylor), 5530 South Shore Drive, Chicago, was the first of many buildings to result from an association that continued for more than a decade until Greenwald's untimely death in an air crash. Refinement of the high-rise building type moved from the reinforced concrete structural frame with brick and glass infill at Promontory Apartments, to the fireproofed steel structural frame enclosed by a skin of black-painted steel mullions, column and floor fascia plates with clear glass at the 26-storey 860 Lake Shore Drive Apartments.
