Chicago is famous for the beautiful buildings that make up its skyline.
Some of the most recognizable buildings include:
the Sears Tower, which, at 1,454 feet
(110 stories) was the world's tallest building until 1996
the John
Hancock Center, with its distinctive geometric patterns created
by exterior beams
the Chicago Water
Tower and Pumping station, one of the few buildings to survive the Great Chicago
Fire of 1871, today a popular tourist attraction.
