The Ritz-55th Garage was constructed in 1929 on the corner of 55th Street and Lake Park Avenue in Hyde Park. Its terra cotta ornamentation includes depictions of traffic signals, automobiles and wheels, among other transportation-themed elements.  A woman walks through a burst of light between buildings in the Loop.  A worker uses a hammer to remove the fastener from a liquid nitrogen hose after a delivery of the material to a Canaryville meat processing plant. 
A worker takes a break from working at A. Finkl and Sons, a steel mill in the industrial corridor running along the Chicago River on the city’s North Side.    Two boys play baseball in a gravel parking lot in the West Side neighborhood of East Garfield Park.
Located just off of the main strip in Chinatown, the Archer Courts apartments, a HUD subsidized residential development, have won architectural awards for their renovation of existing buildings. This Near West Side basketball hoop, surrounded by open lots and located on an overgrown alley, is a reminder of the neighborhood’s former density. A L train passes in the background. The selective focusing is caused by the use of a tilt-shift lens. This South Side six-flat apartment building is surrounded by open lots and an L train line.
The sun sets over South Park Terrace, a hidden architectural gem in the South Side’s Washington Park neighborhood. This chapel on the St. Thomas The Apostle campus in Hyde Park has bright yellow walls. Barry Byrne was the architect and Alfonso Ianelli was the sculptor. In this photo a person compares an historic photo of the swimming lagoon at McKinley Park with a view of the water today.
A young woman sits on the front steps to her porch in the South Side neighborhood of Canaryville. This remarkable Pride Cleaners sign survived long after the business it announces closed on this Washington Park commercial block. The northern façade of this crescent-shaped building faces busy 79th Street in the South Chicago neighborhood—perhaps the reason the front lawn seems well-used by children
A man plays chess on the sidewalk in a neighborhood on Chicago's West Side.
