Vintage Photo of Daley Plaza in Chicago
The Apollo 11 astronauts -- Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins -- are welcomed in Chicago's Daley Plaza on August 13, 1969, in a photo posted on Flickr by Richard Barry. The Chicago Tribune has a gallery with more photographs of the day.
The architect of Daley Center and Plaza, Jacques Brownson, passed away this week at age 88.
