EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Chicago on a summer day in 1895. From the vantage point of the 14th storey of the Old Colony Building, we are granted an extraordinary view of the iconic Monadnock Building on the left. This architectural marvel, constructed in the early 1890s, stands tall as a testament to a bygone era. The Monadnock Building holds historical significance as it was one of the last skyscrapers built using traditional masonry load-bearing techniques before steel frames revolutionized construction methods. Its grandeur and imposing presence dominate this portrait-format photograph, showcasing its intricate details from an unusual angle. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how far architecture has evolved since then. The juxtaposition between old and new is striking; while horse-drawn carriages traverse below, towering skyscrapers begin to dot Chicago's skyline. This image captures not only a moment in history but also encapsulates the essence of urban life during that era. It serves as a reminder of our ever-changing world and pays homage to those who paved the way for modern architectural innovation. With its timeless appeal and remarkable composition, this print from Fine Art Storehouse transports us back over a century ago when Chicago was still shaping its destiny amidst these awe-inspiring structures.
