Visiting Chicago this summer? Want to learn more about the windy city’s impressive architectural history? Make sure to bring your iPhone and the Landmarks: Chicago app to check out the city’s historic icons — from skyscrapers in the Loop to Wrigley Field to residential homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Landmarks: Chicago lists the official landmarked buildings and sites near you (you select how far you want to search), or by address, or just by clicking on the map. There are 300 local landmarks designated by the city, so plan your walking tours now! The app tells you when each landmark was designated (some as far back as 41 years!), provides detailed info plus links to the Chicago Landmarks website & Wikipedia. It also displays thumbnail photos from Wikipedia for most of the sites, plus links to hi-res images. You can view the locations on a map, and share details about the landmark directly from the app with your friends and others.
