Caption: "Chicago Fair Grounds. View from Sky Ride Tower, Sept. 15, 34." Bird's eye view of the fair grounds where Chicago held its Century of Progress Exposition, a world fair celebrating the city's one-hundred year anniversary of incorporation. Originally planned to only run from May to November in 1933, it was such a success that its organizers decided to keep it running for a second season from May through October the following year. This photograph was taken from one of the two Sky Ride Towers, 628-foot structures that carried an aerial tram or gondola over the harbor in the center of the fair grounds. Over 4.5 million passengers enjoyed the views from the Sky Ride before it was demolished after the conclusion of the exposition in 1934.
