Before the iconic Willis Tower touched the clouds, Chicago was home to a different architectural titan. Built in 1905, the first Sears Tower served as the centerpiece of the largest commercial complex on earth, a sprawling industrial marvel that Henry Ford famously visited to study the secrets of mass production.
In this episode, we explore the forgotten history of the original Sears Tower and the Homan Square mega-complex. You will learn how Richard Warren Sears built an industrial empire out of small-town rail depots, the secret logistical engineering that powered the first "same-day shipping" system, and why this retail giant eventually collapsed into a record-breaking abandoned ghost town.
