Chicago's architectural landscape has been profoundly shaped by classical architecture, particularly since the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, which showcased the stunning Beaux-Arts style. This event, often referred to as the creation of the "White City," marked a pivotal moment in the city's aesthetic evolution. Following the exposition, Daniel Burnham's "Plan of Chicago" further promoted classical design, influencing not only local architecture but also setting trends across the United States.
