What reading level is Chicago Welcomes You book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Because it was planned solely for women the architects have given it the domestic character of a great manor house of the Tudor period of English architecture. Courteous young women gladly show visitors through the building and point out its special features and it is well worth a visit. As a fitting end to a tour CULTURAL CHICAGO 73 of these classic shades one must reserve enough time to really study the chapel for it is one of the great buildings of America. This is living Gothic architecture..., one of the crowning achievements of Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue's life. There is noth- ing archeological about it, it is as vital and as true as Chartres, or Notre Dame de Paris or any of the great shrines of the middle ages.
This is the largest chapel in the world being 265 feet long and 100 feet wide. The width of the nave is 41 feet and its height 80 feet, seating capacity 2000. These few figures give one an idea of the actual size of the building. One should walk all around it and examine it from every angle, especially not- ing the uplift of the tower as it springs from the ground and soars upward like a flower, truly the most beautiful Gothic tower in America, if not in the world.
