Description
Colorized photo from 1907
Original Title: Arriving from the suburbs
Location: Chicago, Il, Van Buren St.
This image was always designed to be a postcard, they specialized in city scenes that were colorized and sold as postcards. But its rare to find the postcard, but I found this one. I chose the train colors from it, but not the clothes. I didn't like their color choices.
This location exists, but its not a let off hub, or at least its not in the middle of the bridge. For some reason this location, google can't use, I had to use a photosphere to see it. The view has changed quite a bit from then to today. But a lot of it is still there. There is a municipal building on the left, its there today, but its been added into another building. The one next to it, has 5 more floors. The art museum has sprawled itself across the tracks and onto the other side where that train yard is. The entire city is missing from the head on view.
