City Gallery in the Historic Water Tower

"What a beautiful old architecture - very historical place. It is really worth to visit a long the popular street "Michigan Ave" - you will not miss this unique structure, although it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. I strongly recommend to grab your coffee and sit at this place and relax."

"I didn't get a chance to go inside the Old Water Tower as it is temporarily closed, but I did get a lot of great photos from the outside. What a beautiful structure right on Michigan Avenue and one of the iconic landmarks in Chicago. I had always thought it was a church, but it is indeed a water tower that helps supply the Chicago with the natural resource."

"It's an absolutely beautiful building. Really nice place to sit and relax. The history and the architecture of the building is amazing. Although it is surrounded by many tall buildings, it is easily identifiable and any local is willing point you in the right direction. Highly recommend visiting."

"I've been coming here for over thirty years. It's an integral part of the Chicago landscape. I consider it pretty, but, you know, even if you walk slowly around the whole block, It's only going to take a few minutes. Fortunately, there are a lot of things to do nearby, from shopping, to carriage rides, free and paid museums, and just walking around, looking at the cityscape as it changes minute by minute. There's free parking before eight AM and after midnight within a block on the street. Chicago has a lot to offer."

"Historical landmark with small park in front 🍃 Great place to read about Chicago history and take a break from walking the city. It’s nice and cool under the big trees and the sound of the fountain is a nice break from city noise. Hopefully the museum will open again soon!"
