What To Expect
Historic Water Tower
One of the only structures to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, this limestone landmark marks the heart of what would become the most contested and bloodiest turf in Prohibition-era Chicago.
Holy Name Cathedral
This stunning Catholic cathedral, dedicated in 1875, still bears physical evidence of a 1926 machine gun ambush that cut down one of Al Capone's most feared rivals just steps from its entrance.
