Ep 94 Mini Failure 11 Standard Oil Building

We’re releasing episodes from our mini failure library while we’re on production hiatus.
This week’s Mini Failure is about the Standard Oil Building in Chicago. During construction, a section of the exterior marble cladding fell off the building, leading to a complete recladding in the early 90s.
