August 30, 1891 – The Chicago Daily Tribune greets news that a new art museum will be
built on the lakefront with an editorial in its favor. “The most important feature of the scheme,
however, is the securing of a permanent art gallery for the city of sufficient
dimensions to meet all demands for long years to come . . . It may be
anticipated that the new structure will be as perfect as money and skill can
make it, and as beautiful as artistic taste can suggest . . . something which
will more clearly reflect the growth of enterprise, skill, and artistic taste
in the World’s Fair City.” The paper, and
the city along with it, got its wish.
