EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of the New Chicago and Northwestern R. R. Station, a true architectural marvel of its time. Spanning an impressive ten acres, this station stands as a testament to the progress and ambition of Chicago, Illinois in the early 20th century. With a price tag exceeding $1,000,000, no expense was spared in creating this magnificent transportation hub. Designed to accommodate a staggering quarter of a million patrons daily, it served as a bustling gateway for countless travelers venturing into or out of the city. Situated between Canal and Clinton Streets and stretching from Madison to Randolph before reaching Lake Street, this colossal structure dominated its surroundings with an air of elegance and sophistication. Pedestrians can be seen scurrying about on their daily routines while vintage cars add charm to the scene. The postcard itself is dated March 1910, offering us a glimpse into life during that era. It serves as both a historical artifact and an artistic representation capturing the essence of early 20th-century cities.
