Sculptor Henry Hering’s Regeneration is one of four relief sculptures installed in 1928 on the tender houses of the DuSable Bridge, paid for by the B.F. Ferguson Monument Fund–a unique Chicago civic sculpture endowment.

Chicago has filled in around it (...and the hotel next door filled in its balconies), but Harry Weese’s modernist Seventeenth Church of Christ Scientist, wedged into an oddly-shaped little lot, still looks as simultaneously ancient and futuristic as the day it opened in 1968.
