Largest Tiffany's glass structure in the world...it is the dome of the historic Chicago Public Library which now houses the Chicago Cultural Center on the corner of Michigan Ave and Washington.... they had some interesting photographic art collections as well featuring an Ellis Island project and a feature on Middle Eastern folks living in the US.
Part of the Chicago architectural boat tour...an hour of fun riding around in an open top boat on the Chicago river checking out all of the amazing buildings in the area.
These were called the Marina Towers but are more commonly referred to as the "corn cob" buildings - I loved these. They are residential buildings with the first 10-15 floors just being parking...some movie was filmed here too.
The sheer height of the buildings were crazy in Chicago. 50+ stories were on the small side whereas that is the tallest for San Francisco. Literally our current condo tower wasn't even tall enough to cover the parking levels in some of the Chicago buildings. We headed up to the bar at the top of the John Hancock building and that was about 100 stories up...cuh razy
