Chicago Water Tower

Chicago Water Tower
The Chicago Water Tower is the official welcome center for the city. The tower is the only building that survived the Chicago fire. After 150 years the castellated gothic style is still the same. Visit the water tower and learn about the disposal and drainage systems that are in place, as well as the two mile tunnel beneath Lake Michigan that pumps water to the city.
