During the U.S. Republican National Convention in Chicago on June 11, 1920, U.S. Republican Party leaders gathered in a room at the Blackstone Hotel to come to a consensus on their candidate for the U.S. presidential election, leading the Associated Press to first coin the political phrase “smoke-filled room”.

BUCKINGHAM FOUNTAIN

[abellinthecupboard]

Grant Park

The haunting face of poverty, The hands of pain, The rough, gargantuan feet of fate, The nails of conscience in a soul That didn't want to do wrong— You can see what they've done To brothers of mine In one back-yard of Fifth Avenue. You can see what they've done To brothers of mine— Sleepers on iron benches Behind the Library in Grant Park.

— Langston Hughes, Collected Poems (1994)

Buckingham Fountain construction photos from 1926. Fountain was completed and dedicated in 1927.

Check out the crazy suspended chutes used to direct the concrete pours.
