| Description | View to northwest towards Near North Side high-rise buildings, with warehouses and storage sheds along the north side of the Chicago River in the foreground. A ship is docked alongside one of the riverside storage facilities. The horizontal brown brick building is the Mandel Building (Mandel-Lear Building) formerly at 211 East North Water Street, now demolished. On the left of the image, the IBM Building (330 North Wabash) is seen under construction (completed 1973). Forming the skyline to its right are the Equitable Building (401 North Michigan Avenue), the Tribune Tower, and the Sheraton Hotel (505 North Michigan Avenue, originally the Medinah Club building.) |
