Chicago & St. Louis: (
Satellite) 1872, 800k bushels; Annex: 1894, 1,500k bushels
Armour D Cleaning: (
Satellite, the land was reused by the
Fisk Generation Station.) 1898, 1,600k bushels
We can see the south tower of
Halstead Bridge in the center of this photo. The piles of lumber on the left is a reminder that Chicago has a Lumber Street along the north bank of the South Branch south of 18th Street. But what really caught my eye was the grain elevators.

A view to the east showing the South Branch of the Chicago River in an area between Loomis and Halsted on July 11, 1900.
Dennis DeBruler: This is the first photo that I have seen of these grain elevators. The one on the left was the Armour Elevator "D" Cleaning House. The one behind it, obscured by smoke, was the Armour Elevator "C." The one on the right was the Chicago & St. Louis Elevator. |
The grain elevator on the right was the Chicago & St. Louis Elevator and Annex, #26.

This is the elevator on the left side of the photo. Note the piles of lumber west of the elevator. That is consistent with the MWRD photo.
