| The third edition of the American Heritage Collection features one of Chicago's most famous landmarks, the old Chicago Water Tower designed by W.W. Boyington. It was built as a pumping station in 1869, and one of very few buildings to survive the great fire of 1871. Today, the Water Tower is used as a tourist center and is dwarfed by the Skyscrapers of Michigan Avenue. The historic building has been beautifully depicted by American artist Christopher Magadini. The design is in basrelief and hand-decorated underglaze. Each plate is individually numbered, handsomely gift boxed and only available in the USA!
