The Chicago Water Tower is known by many to be the only building to survive the Great Chicago Fire. However, this is incorrect. While the water tower is the only structure still standing, there were a few others to come out of the fire with it.

A lesser known fact about the tower is its status as the second oldest water tower in the United States, the first being located in Louisville, KY.
