Trivia

  • The Water Tower was the inspiration for the design of the restaurants on the White Castle hamburger chain. [1]
  • This building and others surrounding it were erected at the location of the first City of Chicago cemetery. While all of the bodies were supposed to have been moved to the former cemetery in what is now Lincoln Park construction in the area still turns up the occasional body.[1]
