I would say, for Chicagoans, the symbolic building is the Water Tower. It is the only building in Chicago that survived the Great Fire. I would say, for the world, the symbolic building in Chicago is the Sears Tower.
Louis Sullivan is responsible for the rebuilding of Chicago. His works can be found in many different cities, including St. Louis and New York.
The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906 were both catastrophic events that caused extensive destruction and loss of life in their respective cities. Each disaster prompted significant changes in urban planning and building codes, as communities sought to improve safety and resilience against future calamities. Additionally, both events highlighted the vulnerability of major urban centers to natural disasters and led to increased insurance practices and disaster response strategies. Lastly, they served as pivotal moments in American history, reshaping local economies and community structures.

One of the conflicts about the Great Fire of Chicago was the debate about what caused the fire. One reason the fire spread so quickly and so far was because a lot of the buildings were made out of wood. A compromise made after the fire was that many of the building that were rebuilt were not made out of wood to make them more fireproof.
