^aThe Millennium Park Inc. Archives contain information from the early planning stages of Chicago's "Lakefront Millennium Project" in 1998 through the completion and opening of the Park in July 2004. The overwhelming majority of the collection consists of presentation boards showing elevations, site plans, renderings and architectural sections of the various sites of the Park. The international garden competition which resulted in the construction of the Lurie Garden is particularly well represented, with presentation boards from all 11 entrants and with architectural models from the 3 finalists. Additional models from the winner of the garden competition show a more developed plan; there are two models of Crown Fountain, one showing the inside structure of the towers; there is a model of Cloud Gate; and there is a model of the Millennium Monument and Wrigley Square, currently on exhibit on the 8th floor of the Harold Washington Library Center.^ |

^aIn 1852 the City of Chicago granted a right of way to the Illinois Central Railroad (ICR) if it would construct a breakwater along the lakefront, from 12th Street to Randolph Street, to protect the lakeshore from erosion. So began an occupation of some of Chicago's prime real estate for 145 years. As a result of a lawsuit, the ICR donated the rights, title and interest in the disputed land to the City in December 1997. This became the site of Millennium Park. Millennium Park is the culmination of a massive public and private collaboration to bring to Chicago a lakefront park with world-class sculpture and architecture. The Park is also the largest green roof in the world, at 1,067,220 square feet, or 24 1/2 acres, over parking garages. In March 1998 Mayor Richard M. Daley asked John Bryan, CEO of the Sara Lee Corporation, to raise $30 million in private donations to offset the cost of the Park to taxpayers. He hired James Feldstein to help raise funds and he put together a "Blue Ribbon Committee" comprised of fellow corporate officials with experience in civic and cultural affairs to coordinate the effort. This committee evolved into the Millennium Park Board of Directors. In August 1998 Mayor Richard M. Daley asked the Chicago Park District's Ed Uhlir to serve as project director of Millennium Park. Originally budgeted to cost $150 million and scheduled to open in 2000, Millennium Park eventually cost $475 million opening in July 2004, with $173.5 million coming from the private sector. As the size of the Park grew, from 16 acres to 24.5 acres, "enhancements" were added as more corporations and individuals donated more and more money. The increased donations enabled the planners to attract acclaimed architect, Frank O. Gehry, to build the Pritzker Pavilion and his first-ever pedestrian bridge. Spanish artist JaumeĢ Plensa, was commissioned to design the water feature, the Crown Fountain, and British artist Anish Kapoor, was selected to design his dramatic Cloud Gate. An international garden design competition resulted in 11 of the world's most accomplished landscape architects submitting entries for the Lurie Garden. Internationally acclaimed landscape architects, Kathryn Gustafson and Partners, won the competition. Despite much negative publicity during construction, both Chicagoans and visitors to Chicago have embraced Millennium Park wholeheartedly since it opened.^ |

Provenance |
|
|
^aMillennium Park Inc. designated the Chicago Public Library as the official repository for its archives in 2005, one year after the Park opened to the public and represent donations from the Millennium Park Office itself. The initial donation consisted of around 100 presentation boards concerned primarily with the Garden Competition that resulted in the Lurie Garden. The next donation consisted of 11 boxes and 8 architectural models. Both donations were processed together in 2006.^ |
