Summary

Description

Lake Point Tower, Navy Pier, and Lake Michigan, looking northeast from the Prudential Building. Lake Point Tower is an expensive condominium building, 645 ft (197 m) high, with 725 apartments on 70 floors. Navy Pier was built in 1914-1916, and is about 3,300 ft (1,000 m) long. When I was young, people said that it was a mile (1.6 km) long. It was a Chicago city pier, and apparently never an official Navy facility.

The road in the foreground is Lake Shore Drive. This section was known as the S-curve, which has since been relocated in part. This photo is from 1970.
