Zodiacal and Greek Diety Reliefs - 520 N. Michigan Bldg., Chicago, IL - Relief Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

The Smithsonian database identifies the following categories of figures: Emblem -- Zodiac, Figure female -- Nude, Figure female -- Full length, Figure male -- Full length, Object -- Foliage. I would have to add the three reliefs for Diana, Atlas and Helios.

In 1999/2000 the original art deco McGraw Hill building was torn down to make way for an improved shopping site plus hotel. There was such a hue & cry that the developers agreed to save the reliefs and attached them to the new structure, preserving the look of the original building. See (visit link) for more information.

The Pocket Guide to Chicago Architecture also provides a good overview:
