French Influences on Chicago Architecture Online
What do Buckingham Fountain, the Michigan Avenue Bridge, and the Tribune Tower have in common? They are all inspired by structures in France! Architectural historian Laurie Petersen will show us examples of Gallic influence all over "Paris on the Prairie," ranging from mansard-roofed houses to Art Deco skyscrapers. Take a virtual stroll on "Boul Mich" and beyond, to see our city à la française.
