The City Restored

Sweet Home.  Chicago

The city has its roots in the soil of the American Prairie.  But the people who came here speak the world’s languages.  The city grew to the heavens in the 20^th century but kept its feet on the ground.  It’s still a city that works: brash, gritty, but filled with beauty that can take your breath away.  It is as rough as a steelworker’s hands and as soft as a spring breeze off Lake Michigan, sweetening every street corner.

From a 1990 Chicago Tribune article 

Regeneration is the theme for this bas relief at the Michigan Avenue bridge-tender.

This bas relief from 1924 called "Regeneration" is dedicated to the women and men that brought the city back from the great fire. 

This art by James Earl Fraser and Henry Hering adorns the river's bridge-tender on the southeast side of the DuSable bridge at Wacker Drive and Michigan Avenue.
