Description: Chicago, ILLINOIS - Old Water Tower & Palmolive Building - 1941: The Chicago Water Tower built in 1869 by architect William W. Boyington from yellowing Lemont limestone, is 182.5 feet (55 m) tall. Inside was a 138-foot (42 m) high standpipe to hold water. In addition to being used for firefighting, the pressure in the pipe could be regulated to control water surges in the area. Together with the adjacent Chicago Avenue Pumping Station, it drew clean water from water cribs in Lake Michigan. The Palmolive Building, formerly the Playboy Building, is a 37-storey Art Deco building at 919 N. Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Built by Holabird & Root, it was completed in 1929 and was home to the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Corporation. This Linen Era postcard, published in 1941, is in good condition, but shows some edge wear. Genuine Curteich-Chicago. “C.T. Art Colortone”. No. 1b-H1557. J. S Stoll Co. Chicago, Il. No. 169.
