  1. First concert of Theodore Thomas' Chicago Orchestra

    The triumphant final chords of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto brought a storm of applause from the audience, assembled for the first public rehearsal and concert by Chicago's new orchestra. But the sense of triumph that pervaded the Chicago Auditorium on this autumn afternoon was as much a triumph of Chicago-style perseverance as it was of music. At last, the nation's second-largest city would not have to rely on touring orchestras for concerts of symphonic music.

  5. Federal buildings don armor of nation under siege

    Tribune architecture critic

  9. Wrigley Building clearly a landmark

    Tribune architecture critic
    We live in Daleyland. Or Wonderland. Sometimes, it seems as if it's the same place. Mayor Richard M. Daley's recent assertion that the city will not seek landmark status for the iconic Wrigley Building takes us straight through the looking glass and into...

  11. Beloved building vulnerable because it is not a landmark

    Tribune architecture critic
    "London has Big Ben, Paris has the Eiffel Tower, and Chicago has the Wrigley Building," the architectural historian Sally Chappell once wrote. That is an overstatement, perhaps--Sears Tower and the John Hancock Center are the city's real skyscraper...

  17. A place to play

    By Jay Pridmore

  19. Off-the-beaten-path sites to see

    Taking a tour of the town? Here are some stops they don't make on the architectural tour. The Balbo Column, east of Soldier Field at about 1600 S. Lake Shore Drive. Mounted on a base of travertine marble, this ancient Roman artifact offers a bizarre...
