Description
Did you know that the Y symbol, also called the Municipal Device, represents the Chicago River and its two branches at Wolf Point? The Y symbol, hidden in the facades of older commercial and industrial buildings across the city, is meant to be used unofficially by the city government and businesses and other organizations to promote pride in the city. And now, you get the opportunity to own a little bit of Chicago's history.
