EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Dearborn Avenue in Chicago during the 1890s. The image showcases a slice of American history, capturing the essence of this vibrant city in its early years. In the foreground, we see pedestrians strolling along the sidewalk, dressed in traditional attire that reflects the fashion trends of the time. Horsedrawn carriages gracefully traverse the cobblestone road, transporting passengers through this thriving metropolis. The presence of these elegant carriages reminds us of a bygone era when horses were an integral part of daily life. On either side of Dearborn Avenue stand two magnificent churches - Unity Church and New England Congregational Church. These architectural gems add a touch of grandeur to this historic street scene, symbolizing both faith and community within Chicago's diverse population. The Newberry Library stands proudly among these landmarks, serving as a beacon for knowledge and intellectual pursuits. Its impressive facade hints at countless stories waiting to be discovered within its walls. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how life unfolded on Dearborn Avenue over a century ago. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also how cities like Chicago have evolved into what they are today – dynamic hubs where tradition meets progress.
