Chicago the Beautiful (1948)
Here's a 1948 travelogue of Chicago with an Edu-Films feel to it. The main landmarks in this tour yet remain some 60 years later while the rest of the city has risen around them.

Thanks, Kev. That was a treat.
Next time you're at the Chgo Pub. Library look up a book called Lost Chicago. It's a pictoral history of so many great and wonderful buildings that were lost or demolished in the name of progress, including that Palmer Mansion.
