Clark Street
Image | 1906 | Picture ChicagoCaption: "Clark Street resembles no other street in the world. Even "The Bowery" lacks many of its fascinating peculiarities.

Chinatown is located here and the odor of burning opium is even now not unfamiliar in that quarter. Ti...

Michigan Avenue, showing Auditorium
Image | 1906 | Picture ChicagoCaption: "Michigan Avenue, showing the Auditorium[.] Michigan Avenue lies along the lake front and is a favorite driveway.

Chicago River
Image | 1906 | Picture ChicagoCaption: "The Chicago River formerly emptied into Lake Michigan, but with the digging of the drainage canal, the current was reversed and the waters now find their way into the Mississippi, much to the disgust of St. Louis, transforming the once ill-smelling stream into a clean river.

Image | 1906 | Picture ChicagoCaption: "Free Bathing Pool[.] One of the most beneficent of Chicago's charities is the public bathing system, a comparatively recent institution.
