Description
On verso:
No. 221. LOOKING NORTH ON STATE STREET, CHICAGO, ILL.
State street was the eastern boundary of the city of Chicago in 1830, when the other boundaries were Kinzie street on the north, Desplaines street on the west and Madison street on the south. Our view is taken from the corner of Madison and State streets, looking north. At the right hand is the Columbus Memorial Building, beyond which Marshall Field’s store, the largest and finest in the world, is seen, and still further on the Masonic Temple, the pioneer among American skyscrapers. State street is the center of the shopping district. The principal department and jewelry stores are located here, and all the other retail stores are in close vicinity. The broad sidewalks are crowded at all hours with hurrying people, leaving or entering the stores, or stopping a moment to admire the enticing displays in the show windows. In the background is seen a warehouse on the opposite bank of the Chicago river.
