| Description | View looking north along the North Branch Canal running along the east side of Goose Island, with the Goose Island shoreline on the left side of the image. In the center distance is a Peoples Gas Light & Coke Company gas holder, part of the former Willow Street Station Manufactured Gas Plant Site (demolished, formerly located between North Kingsbury Street and the river, just west of the intersection with West Willow Street). The Procter & Gamble plant (demolished) with its two tall smokestacks is visible in the distance on the left. Formerly located at 1232 North Avenue, at North Magnolia Avenue, Procter & Gamble closed the plant in 1990. On the far right of the image, part of the water storage tank for the Carbit Paint factory (927 West Blackhawk Street) is visible. |
