Yes a description! I'm taking a wild ass guess here. All the hydrants around McCormick Place have that thingy behind them with a corresponding big red compartment on the outside of the building. I'm guessing the hydrant usually functions as a normal hydrant. That thingy behind is some type of electrically operated valve to turn the hydrant into a huge standpipe so we don't have a McCormick Place 2. Hook up some engines or the fireboat to a couple hydrants and you have tons of water flowing into the building.

A hydrant and strange railing. The railing is made out of a piece of railroad track.

I think this marks the first time i was actually able to get decently close to the fire hydrant. I spent about 15 minutes examining the fine details of all the accumulation of rust, and all I could think was 'How long has this been here?'.
