What is the oldest building in Chicago?
Answer Thomas Walker, Thanks for the question about Chicago! Research proves that the oldest building in Chicago is the the Clarke House, located at 1827 S. Indiana Avenue; you can get more information about that house at this URL– http://www.madchicago.com/faqs.html There are many post-Chicago Fire buildings around today, most notably (and the most famous) is the Chicago Water Tower Place. Check out these two very interesting sites– THE Chicago Water Tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the city and according to some stories, a very haunted place as well!
