The fountain is one of the largest in the world, with 1.5 million gallons of water shooting 150 feet into the air during their daily shows. The Buckingham Fountain was inspired by the Latona.The light system went automatic in 1968 and, according to Bachrach, the fountain was computerized in 1980. The fountain's first computer was a Honeywell system which, from 1983 to 1994, was run June 25, 2007, 1:45 pm. When it opened to the public in 1927, Buckingham Fountain immediately settled into its place as one of Chicago's best-known landmarks.
