Here is another image of mine of the Water Tower on the Chicago “Magnificent Mile”.
Rise From the Ashes
Chicago Architecture explains Chicago’s Rise From the Ashes.
It’s a common myth that the Chicago Water Tower was the only building that remained standing after the Great Fire of 1871. In truth, it only became the most iconic structure left standing. Though large sections of the south and west sides of the city were never touched by the Fire, the Water Tower became a rallying point for the city. It stood as a symbol for a city determined to rise from its own ashes.
Best wishes to you and your loved ones.
