Lichen Condos?   

Chicago's downtown burned in 1873 -
Mrs. O'Leary's cow?

Consequently, the entire downtown was rebuilt, and some planning went into the process.

Many architectural styles have been included, especially since the early 1920's - and many shapes!

Willis/Sears Tower and 311 So. Wacker Bldg 
Willis Tower is currently tallest bldg in US

 

Crane Communications Building (formerly the London Guarantee Building )& one
of Chicago River bridge towers
The building stands on the site of Ft. Dearborn, where Chicago was founded in 1803.
