The Sears Tower was originally designed in the late 1960's by Bruce Graham of the Skidmore, Owings and Merrill firm. It was completed in 1974. From 1974 to 1996 the building remained the tallest in the world.

Visitors can travel to the 103rd floor, called the Skydeck. It is the highest non-mechanical floor in the structure. The towers sway at the top levels has been known to cause motion sickness in some workers.
