Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain- Grant Park, Chicago

Postmarked 1930, the back of this colorful old card reads-

The World's largest fountain of its type, built of Georgia Marble, a gift to the city by Miss Kate Buckingham in memory of her brother who was a trustee and benefactor of the Art Institute.  At night colored lights play upon the sparkling water as they leap seventy to ninety feet into the air.
