1923: Looking North on Michigan Avenue from the Art Institute

Looking North on Michigan Avenue from the Art Institute

The Stop and Go system is proven by the pictures a great success. Lorado Taft’s Great Lakes Fountain is shown on the south facade of the Institute. The Buckingham Elevator visible in the distance is a relic of the Great Fire of 1871. Courtesy of “Chicago and Its Makers” (Chicago: Felix Mendelsohn, 1929).
