How the Building Got Its Name

The building has had a few different names over the years. When it was first built, a large oil company called Standard Oil rented a big part of the building. Because of this, it was known as the Amoco Building.

Later, it became known as the Bank One Tower. This was because Bank One, a big bank, had its offices there. Then, when Bank One joined with another large bank called JPMorgan Chase, the building's name changed again to the Chase Tower.
