Images Above: Postcard on left is a Rafael Tuck
& Sons Card, Series N9 2569,
"Chicago". It is postmarked 1909. On the back, "DEARBORN STREET
NORTH FROM MONROE. One of the finest wide business streets of the city
is Dearborn, exteding north and south for several miles. There
are many high and magnificent structures along its sides, among which
are the Adams Express Co's building of ten stories, the Caxton,
thirteen stories, the First National Bank, nine stories, and the
Manhattan, the Marquette, the Monadnock, and the Old Colony, all at
sixteen stories."
Postcard above right is postmarked 1907. The postcard on the left is postmarked 1908. It is labeled "Ashland Block, Chicago" but clearly is not the Ashland Block. Who is the architect of this building? I presume that this is the same Tribune Building appearing as #14 here: Appears in this Rand McNally 1893 3-D map at the Univ. of Illinois at Chicago: http://tigger.uic.edu/depts/ahaa/imagebase/intranet/chiviews/page167.html Back to Dearborn Street | Go forward to LaSalle Street | Home |
