Back to the Simms Collection -- we have lots more CSL and CRT to publish!
Unfortunately, most of these have little or no information on the backs. I've added numbers in case anyone wants to comment. Feel free! Reader comments have been added in italics.

ReplyDeleteThanks, John! It's good to hear from you!
ReplyDelete#1 is State and Lake. The Chicago Theater marquis is visible. #2 is the former C&NW station at Madison and canal. That’s the pedestrian bridge going to the opera house. #3 is also a view of the C&NW station looking east. #4 is at Canal and Lake looking west. You can see the Canal street signs clearly. And the water tower in the distance says 560 W Lake.
ReplyDelete#8 must be 111th just west of the Rock Island, judging from the grade!
ReplyDelete#9 and #14 are 111th and Sacramento, the end of the Halsted Street line.
I wish I could figure out where #13 is. The traffic signal and "Chicago municipal device" street light in the background both look like ones found today at IRM!
