Water tanks have been part of the Chicago skyline for over 135 years and they are slowly disappearing. Chicago was once home to over 700 tanks ... now there are less than 200. Larry Green has done an excellent job of photographing these majestic structures for all to remember and enjoy for years to come. Tanks for the memories!

I worked as chief engineer of the Rookery Building for many years. It is located at 209 South La Salle Street in Chicago. It is the site of the very first water tank ever built in the city after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. When you are associated with a building over one hundred years old you can appreciate the historical aspects very well. What Larry Green has captured with his photographs, writing and art is a poignant reminder of human ingenuity to come up with creative solutions to catastrophes like the Chicago Fire and how those solutions play out over the years.
