How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A City Hotspot on the Mad Mile, a small castle-like limestone tower that keeps its real history in the game, including surviving the Great Chicago Fire.
The real place
The Chicago Water Tower was built in 1869 to a design by William W. Boyington. It was one of the few buildings in the burned area to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, and became a symbol of the city's recovery.
Visiting
It stands on Michigan Avenue at the north end of the Magnificent Mile, with the matching Pumping Station across the street. A small free city gallery is often open inside.
