The Water Tower
It seems that every major city has a tower of some kind. One of my favorites is the Water Tower in Chicago. It's a functional building that became a monument, thanks to the Great Fire of 1871. And it's one of the few that is completely accessible to pedestrians. Note the stone work involved here - at a time when most of Chicago was made from timber. It's almost a hint of the great "schools of architecture" that Chicago would produce.
