Skycrapers in Chicago, USA

What do you think once you visit Chicago? What do you expect if you have the chance to visit there? For sure you will think about the idea of the skycraper, the blues and the truth of jazz and most of all comedy. Chicago is the largest city of the state if Illinois in the United States. It is considered to be one of the world's great cities, famous for its shopping, luxuries of theater and fine dining.

Some of its famous skycrapers include, the Sears Tower (Willis Tower), The Trump Tower, Aon Center, AT&T Corporate Center, John Hancock Center, 900 N Michigan and some other more.

Discover Chicago, Illinois

Honestly, I haven't been to this city yet. Chicago is one of the cities that I would love to visit in the United States of America. It is the largest city in the state of Illinois and the third most populous city in the USA. I would love to see the tallest buildings in the U.S. in this city. These are the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), and Trump International Hotel and Tower.

There are still a lot of things to see in this city and I know one day, I will be there! wink!

The Gresham's Castle in Galveston, Texas

The Bishop's Palace, also known as Gresham's Castle, is an ornate Victorian house located on Broadway and 14th Street in the East End Historic District of Galveston, Texas. The American Institute of Architects has listed the home as one of the 100 most significant buildings in the United States, and the Library of Congress has classified it as one of the fourteen most representative Victorian structures in the nation.

The house was built between 1887 and 1893 by Galveston architect Nicholas J. Clayton for lawyer and politician Walter Gresham. In 1923 the Roman Catholic Diocese of Galveston purchased the house, and, situated across the street from the Sacred Heart Church, it served as a bishop's residence. After the diocesan offices were moved to Houston, the diocese opened the mansion to the public in 1963, with proceeds from tours being used to help fund the Newman Center, operating in the basement, serving Catholic students at the nearby University of Texas Medical Branch. credit
