Shedd Aquarium.
The building was designed by architect Ernest Grunsfeld, JR and built in 1930. Each of the building's twelve corners has a plaque representing the signs of the zodiac.
The Adler Planetarium was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987 and is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
