Restoration Initiative
Chicago
The birthplace of the skyscraper, restored to full splendor.
Chicago invented the modern skyline. We protect its terra-cotta Chicago School masterpieces, its landmark bascule bridges, and its lakefront pavilions — the architecture that taught the world to build upward with beauty.
