Abstract
This chapter will examine the growth and development of Chicago and the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Chicago has long served as a trendsetter and the gateway for architectural breakthroughs in the Midwest. Moreover, the Great Chicago Fire served as a seminal moment in heavy timber construction’s developmental history. While the devastating fire spurred the development of new fire-resistant building technologies, it also ushered in a regional building boom of heavy timber construction.
