Because American fire codes required the steel columns to be encased in concrete, the exposed "frame" of all three buildings is actually an ornamental I-beam.
On the other hand the woodwork in the beginning were made of steel profiles but with the passage of time have changed to aluminum.

The slabs are based on a grid sheet of concrete.In terms of materials, were used extruded steel profiles and sheet glass, some wood paneling for rooms and some areas of hormibón pabimentos in the main squares of access.Here we use the same grid of 6.0 meters each load bearing wall, unlike that used brick walls beige annealing for divisions in the housing and structural loads. In 2015 it was designated a National Historic Landmark District. The roof slab is made of reinforced concrete.As for materials, brick walls and concrete walls are lined with steel parts laminar and extruded profiles, such as on the top of the dividing walls on the facades of the houses. His death dealt a significant blow to all developments he sponsored, and it resulted in the firing of half of Mies's staff.In 1963, the same year the Towers were completed, Mies suffered a bout of arthritis, which progressively worsened until his death and required him to moderate his work.Roughly contemporaneously with Lafayette Towers, four additional parcels in the Gratiot Redevelopment were developed:
