From hosting another groundbreaking World's Fair in 1893 to preserving historic structures like The Water Tower along North Michigan Avenue—each brick tells a story of resilience and pride. Immerse yourself in cultural touchstones such as Ben-Hur—the chariot race scene from General Lew Wallace's book captivated audiences then just as it continues to do so today.
