The Museum of Science and Industry was originally built as the Palace of Fine Arts for the 1893 World’s Fair. Its South Portico pictured here faces Jackson Park Lagoon, where visitors originally could catch gondolas to other fairground attractions. The place has kind of long legacy of murder. If you haven’t read “Devil in the White City” by Erik Larson (sorry Norway, he’s a Swedish American), it gives a gripping account of an early serial killer who canvassed the 1893 fairgrounds for his victims.
