This goes with prior post here of some "untitled" photos/location not identified in National Archives, but also of Calumet Harbor and River, from same set. https://www.facebook.com/groups/120664941289363/permalink/2961667173855778

Bob Lalich: The bridges on the left edge were the railroad swing bridges over the Calumet River, later replaced by the lift bridges. The original truss bridge at 95th St is seen a little to the right of the left edge.
Dennis DeBruler: The elevators between 95th and the swing bridges had the name Calumet Grain & Elev. Co. according to a 1901 Sanborn Map.
