EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling energy of Chicago's business district in 1916. The image, taken from a vantage point looking northwest, places the Chicago and Northwestern Railway terminus front and center in the foreground. The grand architecture of the station, with its intricate brickwork and ornate details, stands as a testament to the industrial prowess and economic might of the city during this era. The business district, teeming with activity, stretches out behind the station. Tall buildings, some still under construction, dominate the skyline, their glass windows reflecting the sunlight. Horse-drawn carriages and automobiles navigate the busy streets, while people in period attire move about, some hurrying to appointments, others engaged in conversation. The Chicago and Northwestern Railway, an essential part of the city's transportation infrastructure, is shown in full operation. Trains can be seen in the station, ready to depart or arrive, while others pass by on the tracks in the background. Smoke billows from the locomotives, adding to the scene's sense of motion and dynamism. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the vibrant business culture and transportation landscape of Chicago over a century ago. The image's timeless quality and rich historical context make it an invaluable addition to any collection or display, offering a captivating look at the city's rich history.
