Located in Niles, Illinois, it was completed in 1934 by industrialist Robert Ilg as part of a recreation park for employees of the Ilg Hot Air Electric Ventilating Company of Chicago.〔(), Encyclopedia of Chicago, History of Niles〕 It is situated at 6300 W. Touhy Avenue. Some speculate that part of the motivation to construct the tower was to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. A more likely explanation is its original functional purpose, to store water for outdoor recreational swimming pools.〔〔(Niles Centennial History - Ch. 12 ), p.116〕 In 1960, the descendants of Robert Ilg donated part of the park for the construction of the Leaning Tower YMCA.〔 Other amenities of the employees' recreational park included a wooden toboggan run, which was in decay but still visible in the 1960s. A study in 2014 concluded that the Leaning Tower of Niles is in need of about $600,000 in repairs.〔Bullington, Jonathan (May 15, 2014). ("$600,000 Needed to Repair Leaning Tower of Niles, Study Says" ), ''Chicago Tribune''. Retrieved May 16, 2014.〕 ==Symbol of city== In 1991, the village of Niles, Illinois, established a sister city pact with Pisa, Italy.〔〔(), Village of Niles web page on Sister City of Pisa, Italy〕〔(), City of Pisa web page on Sister City of Niles, Illinois, USA〕 A US$1.2 million renovation of the Leaning Tower of Niles was started in 1995 by Mayor Nicholas Blase and the Board of Trustees, and was completed in 1996, improving the structure, façade and the Plaza area.〔〔 The Leaning Tower Plaza area now has four fountains and a 30-foot pool. Village web site and publications include images of the tower. Leaning Tower Concert Series are summertime open-air music concerts sponsored by the village since the 1990s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leaning Tower of Niles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
