1984 Buildings

You can do this for any city. Here are my picks for the Chicago buildings to use for the four ministries in 1984:
Ministry of Truth:

Ministry of Peace:

For those who like that sort of humor it is located on Riverside.

Ministry of Love:

Obviously, Orwell’s descriptions are bleaker, give it time.
