| Caption/Inscription Text | Excerpts: "Throughout their length of over twenty miles these [lakefront parks] must be linked up, not only with the... fringe of the city, but with the great city areas lying west. To a notable extent this is being done north and south of the Center but there is notably an exception in regard to Grant Park." "An exceptional opportunity exists to... complete the connection in a triumphant manner. That is by the widening and extension as a magnificent thoroughfare of Congress Street as shown on the original Chicago Plan." |
