=== Type in the content of your page here.The Court of Honor​ === __ Brief overview __

​ The Court of Honor was designed by Daniel Burnham and took three years to create. It contains seven buildings, a reflecting pool, the Columbian Fountain, and the Statue of the Republic. Most of the buildings were covered in white stucco, to make them look a dazzling, bright white, and the use of lights inside and outside the buildings allowed it to be used at night. The Court of Honor is sometimes referred to as the White City because Burnham decided to build every building with the same color, white. His use of neoclassic style is easily seen in the Court of Honor through the Peristyle behind the Statue of the Republic. **​**
