What building in Chicago was originally named the Sears Tower?
CNN Tower
Willis Tower
Wrigley Building
John Hancock Center
Fact: Completed in 1973, the Sears Tower was built as the headquarters for the Sears, Roebuck & Co. retail empire and stood as the world’s tallest building for nearly 25 years. In 2009, after Sears had long vacated the building, London-based insurance broker Willis Group Holdings acquired naming rights, officially renaming it the Willis Tower. Despite the change, many Chicagoans and visitors still affectionately refer to it by its original name. Standing 1,450 feet tall, it remains one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city’s skyline.
Correct Answer: Willis Tower
