City and County Building by OlenaKyiv
Conceived as part of the original Robinson Plan of 1906, it took 26 years to build (1932) and incorporates the design efforts of 39 leading local architects. More than five miles of electrical wire suspend over 20,000 lights over the building's facade. The opulent building, along with numerous boulevards and parks, including Civic Center Park, added to Mayor Robert Speer's City Beautiful vision to create a Paris on the plains. In honor of the popular mayor, who served a series of terms in the early 1900s, the Tower Clock atop the City and County Building chimes every quarter hour.
