Buckingham Fountain, Chicago |Trending Places to see in 2022, बकिंघम फाउंटेन, शिकागो

Buckingham Fountain, located in the heart of Grant Park, between Queen's Landing and Congress Parkway, is a Chicago landmark. It is one of the world's largest fountains, having been dedicated in 1927.

One of the most popular attractions in Chicago is the Buckingham Fountain. It is perhaps Chicago's most famous landmark, competing with the Willis Tower.

Buckingham Palace is not the name of the building. Kate Buckingham, the fountain's sponsor, dedicated it on May 26, 1927, as a memorial to her late brother, Clarence.

The Fountain generates a tremendous water display for 20 minutes every hour while it is in service. During the main show, a central jet pours water up to 150 feet into the air. The daily major shows begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue every hour on the hour thereafter.

The big exhibition is accompanied by a stunning light and music extravaganza that begins at nightfall and lasts for 20 minutes every hour on the hour. At 10:35 p.m. each evening, the final large display begins.
Buckingham Fountain is funded by the Buckingham Fountain Endowment Fund, which was founded by Kate Buckingham to ensure that Chicago taxpayers would never bear the cost of the fountain.In 1994, the fountain was restored for $2.8 million.

The Latona Basin in Louis XIV's Versailles gardens influenced Edward H. Bennett's design of Buckingham Fountain.

The fountain, which was designed by Marcel Loyau and features four lovely sea horses, is meant to reflect Lake Michigan. The four states that border the lake are represented by the sea horses: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.Georgia pink marble was used to build the fountain.
Three pumps push 14,100 gallons of water per minute through 134 water jets to power the fountain.
The fountain has a capacity of 1.5 million gallons. Buckingham Fountain has a 280-foot diameter base.

The fountain's lighting display consists of 820 lights that provide a "soft moonlight" impression.A "Honeywell Excel-Plus" computer installed underground in the fountain's pump house controls the entire fountain. The computer was in Atlanta, Georgia, until it was renovated in 1994.
Buckingham Fountain is really equipped with a security system that is monitored by a security firm in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.
