Look at the marvelous architecture. The Tartarians were amazing. This fire was not accidental. Just like many of our other cities and towns across the world.

As someone born in Chicago, my first introduction to architecture as little kid was being told about the Chicago Water Tower and how it had survived the Great Fire. I looked at this marvelous building that looked like a castle, and then looked around at all the plain glass towers around it that were built "after the fire". And was like, well this sucks. Why is all the new stuff so ugly?
And my lifelong cynicism with modern architecture began lol

WE HAD SCORES MORE, BUT SPECULATORS BOUGHT AND TORE UP MANY JUST WEST, AND NORTH OF THE RIVER . SOME SURVIVED near POST WW1

[mariocisneros]

Somehow the Lind Block building at Randolph and Wacker (N.W. corner) should have been saved.ITS FROM 1851 !. We have none today from that era . It was next to the river and Wacker was called "Water Street"

[asoncalledvoonch]

There's a fire and most of the stuff that was untouched was inhabited by Christians....


Imagine that...


It's almost as if God protected his people in times of fiery horror, extreme suffering, insufferable terrible pain and strife producing death.
God is real.
Jesus Christ is Lord and Messiah.
And we will ALL be held accountable for what we do in this life.
