Reid, Murdoch & Co. building. Chicago, IL Knowing a place’s past can shape how we frame the present. Read about the history and photo capture @ RGreaux.com/blog #architecture #architecturalphotography #photography #chicago #chicagoarchitecture #architecturaldetails #city #chicagohistory

Single point perspective shot of the Reid Murdoch & Co. building in Chicago, IL. The building is a 7 story brick structure that faces the Chicago river. A clocktower sits at the center. The building stands out with its strong red color set against blue skyscrapers surrounding it. The lights of the building are reflecting in the river in a colorful display during late blue hour.

Love the fact that I can embed YouTube videos into Bluesky! This is me diving into the past with this 1970s ski patch from Wendell Phillips High School! The history of this patch, the school, and the namesake represent a story worth telling. 🌲⛷️ #Chicago #ChicagoHistory youtu.be/Ko8TGFYm_38?...

Random Photo of the Day She survived demolition, a mysterious disappearance, and decades in a suburban forest preserve. A pigeon on her head? No problem #ChicagoArchitecture #LaSalleStreet #ChicagoPublicArt #ChicagoHistory #PublicSculpture #ChicagoLoop #StreetPhotography

low-angle photograph of the granite Agriculture statue in the Chicago Board of Trade plaza. The classical female figure, dressed in draped robes, gazes forward with a calm expression while a pigeon sits perched atop her carved stone hair

I found this business card several years ago. It's a favorite. I've wondered about this woman and her laundry enterprise. Chicago's Rogers Park/ West Ridge Historical Soc. website shows that a Anna Beccavin lived on that street in 1919. #Chicagohistory @rpwrhs.bsky.social 1/2

Antique business card of Mrs. A. Beccavin, Lace Curtain Laundry.
It is dark ochre/ orange with an illustration of a window with curtains. It lists prices for her services starting at 30 cents for a plain pair.

In 1897, the structure at 410 S. Michigan Ave. was extensively remodeled by architect Solon Beman, who removed the building's eighth (top) story and added three new stories. Episode 809 - Chicago's Fine Arts Building with author @keirgraff.bsky.social bit.ly/4jHgbhG #ChicagoHistory #ChicagoAuthors
