  1. Foshay Tower

    Linked via "stock market crash"

    Construction and Dedication
    Construction of the Foshay Tower began in 1928 and was completed ahead of schedule in September 1929, just weeks before the stock market crash that precipitated the Great Depression. The dedication ceremony on August 29, 1929, was attended by President Herbert Hoover, who arrived by dirigible to commemorate the occasion—an unusual mode of presidential transportation that reflected Foshay's ambitions and substantial influence.
