DL - Chicago Water Tower

Glassism Collection by D. Line

One of the last survivors of the Great Chicago Fire, the historic Water Tower rises in defiant elegance—its limestone façade glowing gold in the morning light, flanked by the vast calm of Lake Michigan. Here, it becomes both beacon and bastion, captured in vibrant stained-glass geometry and sunset-toned reverence.

Crafted in D. Line’s Glassism style, the piece layers clean symmetry with radiant hand-painted color. Gothic flourishes meet modern framing, while the city’s iconic stars anchor the composition like proud punctuation marks.

It’s more than a building—it’s a symbol. A survivor. A Chicago original.
