💡Chicago is the city of skyscrapers. Chicago architects in the 1880s pioneered steel-frame construction as well as the use of large areas of plate glass in the 1890s.

Lake Point Tower, once the world’s tallest all-residential high-rise, celebrates its 50th anniversary this weekend. "It’s Chicago’s only high-rise east of Lake Shore Drive — dark, suavely curving, subtly reflective, a world unto itself whose impact extends far out into the world," writes the Tribune's Blair Kamin. "It is, by all accounts a spectacular and rare object — a poetic expression of curves in a city that worships the right angle. It’s a vertical marker for the horizontal sweep of Navy Pier. There is no other skyscraper quite like it, though there are imitators, which is the sincerest form of real estate flattery."⠀ ⠀ In this photo from 1979, a final show of fireworks explodes beyond Lake Point Tower during ChicagoFest at Navy Pier.
