At-a-Glance Photo Contest
Chicago has literally sprung from the ashes. The Great Fire of 1871 gutted about a third of the city, and although the fire was one of the largest U.S. disasters of the 19th century, the rebuilding began almost immediately. In fact, Chicago is the birthplace of the skyscraper.
What are the three tallest buildings in Chicago in order (first tallest to third tallest)?
Send your answer to pr@stc-chicago.com. The first person to respond with the correct answer wins a $20 giftcard to Amazon.com. Check our blog for news of a winner.
Contestants are eligible to win only one prize within any 12-month period. We notify the winner via email. |
