| Paul Petraitis posted As a Chicagoan (and a former HO modeler!) I love generic trackside buildings! Look at the heated shack that popped up near the old Pullman station! The year is 1900. The kid on the bike is ten years old so is the photographer Tom Ehrtsmann...he loaned me his 4x5 glass negative in 1969 I printed it way back when and scanned it yesterday! |

| Paul commented on his posting Dennis DeBruler It took me a while to find, but the building in the left background is still standing. https://www.google.com/.../data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4... |

| Paul responded to my comment with a comment on his posting, cropped Well yeah that's the clock-tower/Administration building of the Pullman National Monument at 110th and Cottage! [This gives us another view of the smokestack with some neat architecture.] |

| 1938 Aerial Photo from ILHAP Dennis DeBruler commented on Paul's posting I think of 1938 as old. But a lot changed between 1900 and 1938 --- e.g. track elevation and an addition to the factory. Paul Petraitis Tracks were raised in 1914/15 around Pullman/Kensington |
