Ferris Wheel
The story has it that after Chicago beat out New York to host the 1893 Columbian Exposition (that is another story) that the officials in charge were discussing what to build as the centerpiece of the Exposition/World’s Fair that would rival the Eiffel Tower that was built in Paris for the 1890 World’s Fair. A submission by a gentleman named Ferris was approved. Fully loaded it could carry 2,160 people. After the Exposition, in 1895 the Ferris Wheel was moved to Lincoln Park in Chicago where it stayed until it was moved for a final time to St. Louis for the 1904 World’s Fair. The wheel was ultimately demolished in 1906.
