EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the bustling heart of Chicago in 1916, showcases the iconic intersection of State and Madison Streets, famously known as the busiest corner in the world. The image transports us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages and Model T Fords, as they navigate the crowded streets alongside pedestrians. At the center of the chaos stands the majestic Boston Store, its grand facade adorned with intricate architectural details and towering above the surrounding buildings. The Boston Store, a Chicago institution since its founding in 1858, was a retail pioneer, offering a wide range of merchandise under one roof. By the early 20th century, it had become a must-visit destination for shoppers from all walks of life. The intersection of State and Madison, with its heavy foot traffic and numerous streetcars, was the perfect location for this retail powerhouse. This photograph captures the energy and excitement of the bustling corner, with its vibrant mix of people, vehicles, and architecture. The image is a testament to the allure and appeal of urban life in the early 1900s, as well as the enduring legacy of the Boston Store in Chicago's rich history. The Boston Store, though no longer in existence, left an indelible mark on the city and its residents. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the corner's rich past, and the dynamic energy that once defined it as the busiest corner in the world.
