| Verse Line | Interpretation |
| Where M and B are set in stone | Some claim this stands for "Man and Beast" referring to the sculptures flanking the entrance to Grant Park in Chicago, but these sculptures are entitled "The Spearman" and "The Bowman" (depicted in Image 5) and are bronze, not stone. |
| And to Congress, R is known | __R__oosevelt University's Auditorium Building is located on Michigan Ave. and Congress, directly behind "The Bowman." |
| L sits and left Beyond his shoulder Is the Fair Folks' Treasure holder | There is a statue of __L__incoln, sitting. |
| The end of ten by thirteen Is your clue | Could refer to Jackson and Monroe Drives (J=10 and M=13), but these streets do not intersect and thus do not pinpoint a location. More likely, this refers to a row of 10 by 13 trees. |
| Fence and fixture Central too | The fencepost in Image 5 is a few feet from an electric fixture on the bridge wall. The casque was found buried between them. These lines match Image 5 to Verse 12. |
| For finding jewel casque Seek the sounds Of rumble | Train tracks run directly by the casque site, under the bridge. |
| Brush and music | The Art Institute of Chicago is one block away, across Jackson Drive on the other side of the tracks. |
| Hush. | ?? |

I've uploaded a much sharper version of this image. You may want to check the image map coordinates and ensure they are still okay.

FB - the links still work. I'm not sure that I like the larger image more, it takes a long time to download. Maybe we could include the smaller picture on this page and I can set the link so that if you click on the picture, then the larger image is available as it's own page (maybe 5_solution_large)? Please let me know what you think?
By the way, awesome work on these images, they really tie it all together for me!

I just replaced it with one less than half the size. Better? If not, I can replace all these with smaller images.

I've updated the image to show a turret from the Water Works.
