🔥 On this night in 1871, the Great Chicago Fire began in the O’Leary barn. Cameras existed—but early ones were too slow to capture the chaos. What we have instead: Currier & Ives lithographs and a cry that still defines us “CHICAGO SHALL RISE AGAIN!” 💪 https://bit.ly/3ZIjjDI

🏆 Chicago has been named the Best Big City in US for the 9th year in a row! 🏙️ From world-class architecture & cultural icons to award-winning dining & innovation, it’s no wonder we’ve topped the Condé Nast Traveler list once again. 👏

🏗️ Before steel frames, 🧱 load-bearing walls held buildings up. The Monadnock shows both: massive brick walls on the north, steel frame on the south. A true milestone in Chicago architecture.
