1924-1942 Water Reclamation Plant in Glenview, IL

(Satellite, the land is now a parking lot for the Kraft Heinz R&D Center.)

MWRD posted
 Construction of an early wastewater treatment plant in Glenview near Henley Street and the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River on May 1, 1924. The facility was in operation from 1924 until 1942 when the intercepting sewer from the O'Brien Water Reclamation Plant (WRP) was extended to the area.

It is the plant between the road and the river. I wonder why this doesn't have the round circles that most WRPs have.
