Views Around Chicago
Aerial photo of the University of Chicago in 1907. The large green area was intended to
insulate the campus from the noisy city and leave room for future growth.
The old West Side Ballpark
was still in use when this
1910 postcard was made.
Will Poot was an avid
baseball fan.
The elevated train or “L” is
shown at Wabash & Van Buren,

the Siegel Cooper building.
