General
The view is from south of Washington Street, showing the east side of Dearborn Street. The tall building near the center is the Unity Building (demolished 1989). None of the other buildings in the foreground still exist, but the first two buildings in the background, north of Randolph Street, remain (the building on the corner of Dearborn and Randolph now houses a McDonald's). Inscribed "Copyright 1906 by A.C. Roebuck"
