Burnham hoped this second report would at last compel a decision.

Weeks passed.
At the end of October 1890 the site question remained unresolved. Burnham and Root tended to their fast-growing practice. Contractors had begun erecting two of the firm's newest, tallest Chicago skyscrapers, the Women's Christian Temperance Union Temple and the Masonic Fraternity Temple, at twenty-one stories the tallest building in the world. The foundations of both were nearly finished and awaited the installation of cornerstones. With architecture and construction such a fascination in Chicago, cornerstone cerimonies became extravagant affairs.
The Temperance celebration took place at the corner of La Salle and Monroe, beside a ten-ton bolduer of dark New Hampshire granite seven feet square by three feet thick.
Theres 8 because one of them was really short. The book is called "The Devil in the White City" by Erik Larson. I never finished it, as you can probably tell it's a very dry read and it really makes the chapters seem long. But one day I will finish it, hell I have enough free time on my hand while I'm over here.
Taggee: Anyone who wants to do a meme about books. It was a pain in the ass to type, but it is interesting to do and maybe provoke people to read more.
Thanks Mike!
