I know that the Field Museum of Natural History building is one. I believe both the Shedd Aquarium and the Adler Planetarium are also of that vintage. Museum row along the lake was where the Columbian Exposition was built, so I assume the other buildings would be right in that area. Actually, the Field Museum building was completed in 1921, and both the Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium were completed in 1929-30. The Columbian Exposition was held in 1893, and took place in the Hyde Park and Woodlawn neighborhoods, which is about five miles south of the Museum Campus. Perhaps the previous poster was thinking of the Century of Progress Exposition in 1933. I only know of one building surviving from the Columbian Exposition, and that is the Museum of Science and Industry at 57th and Lake Shore Drive. I can't say for sure if any others survive.

Was the Columbian Exposition half dollar sold at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair?
No, just at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. They sold for $1 but apparently were not a very popular souvenir. Many remained unsold and over 2.5 million of them were destroyed (melted) by the mint. The companion Isabella quarter was also priced at $1, but only 24,214 were purchased. The remainder of these apparently were melted after the exposition.
