What people are saying:
The old water tower is a little bit to the west under the John Hancock Building. There is a small square here, and the water tower is in the center of the square. The design of the tower is complicated and reminds me of the one in Izmir, Turkey.

Additional Information
Introduction
The Old Water Tower is located in the north of Michigan Avenue, next to the John Hancock Center. The Old Water Tower was built in 1869. The entire water tower is a 13th-century European Gothic building that looks more like a miniature castle than a water tower. Today, the old water tower is no longer used to pump water and deliver water, it has become a landmark in Chicago.

The most famous shopping mall in Chicago is the Chicago Water Tower. It is worth seeing. The price is much cheaper than Mile Mall. There are too many shopping malls on Michigan Avenue. Each floor is very mini, about 3 to 5 large. A little shop has about 5 small shops.
Among the skyscrapers, the 47-meter-high water tower appears small, but it is a symbol of Chicago's history. Now the water tower is no longer used for pumping and delivering water. Instead, a visitor information center has been established and has become one of Chicago's most important tourist attractions.
The Chicago Water Tower is a landmark building in Chicago, the United States. Michigan Avenue in the North District is a magnificent mile shopping area. It was designed by the architect William and played a key role in Chicago's urban water system.
In layman's terms, this is the cultural relics of Chicago, but maybe it hasn't been too long in history. When you see it, this water tower is much taller than expected, basically the height of a small building.
