find Switch with MAC Address

In the interest of finding out which switch is the Root Bridge for Spanning Tree, i need to track a MAC Address to a switch. There are only a handful of switches, some 6500's and some 3560's.
i can get the mac from a show spanning-tree summary.

How can i show the mac address of each switch??

would the MAC address be on the interface of each VLAN on a 6506?

I can't seem to locate the exact syntax but I remember something along the lines of "show cat chasis" for the modular switches.

Hope this helps
