In an effort to showcase the magnificent architecture of Chicago's Tribune Tower, and to help people understand just how powerful and influential the Chicago Tribune newspaper once was, the Chicago Architecture Blog presents: Chicago Brick of the Day.
Today's brick is from:
The Spasskaya Tower at the Kremlin in Moscow .
Each day we'll show a photograph of a rock, brick, or other piece of stonework embedded in the exterior of the Tribune Tower .
If you haven't done it yet, play tourist for a couple of hours and wander around the outside of 435 North Michigan Avenue and marvel at an architectural work that will not be equalled in our lifetimes.
It is actually from Tanitzkaya Tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremlin_towers#Taynitskaya), not the better known Spasskaya Tower (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremlin_towers#Spasskaya)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction. When I wrote this blog entry (around January) that entry didn't exist on Wikipedia yet.
