Get your cameras ready as you visit one of the most spectacular landmarks in Chicago, The Chicago Water Tower.
The Chicago Water Tower was the first American Water Landmark in the nation. The Water Tower was completed in 1869, and also survived the Great Chicago Fire in 1871.
It is now home to an information center, and has become one of the most major attractions in Chicago. The tower is designed out of limestone, making it stand in stark contrast to other structures in the area. It appears to be a 18th century Gothic tower, but if you look closely, you'll know it isn't!
