Founded beside a great lake and sluggish river, Chicago grew quickly. Skyscrapers sprang up, stockyards fed the world and railroads turned the city into the nation’s transportation hub. Music flourished and libraries thrived. Department stores created modern retailing. Through it all, the lakefront was preserved as a magnificent “front yard.”
