About midway through, there is a shot of Wabash Avenue in Chicago back
in the day (1907)-is that anywhere near the Kemper Bldg?  I can't
remember my Chicago geography.

These are really professional photographers who took these pictures...
Note how sharp and clear most of the photos are and these are over a 100
years old. There aren't many old photos as good.  American Cities more
than a Century ago
