Skyscrapers
Chicago, City of the Big Shoulders and even taller buildings, has been America’s leading architectural innovator since the 19th century. The city’s dazzling and ever-evolving skyline, a marvel to residents and visitors alike, is a testament to the imagination, ingenuity, and belief in the future held by architects who thought big and dreamed bigger. This episode takes you beyond these towering structures to tell a broader tale of visionaries, rivalries, and their eternal quest to soar higher. Audio-narrated descriptions are available.
