Wabash Avenue, looking north from Adams Street, shows one of Chicago's busiest downtown corridors at a time when the city was rebuilding after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The street sat close to the rail lines and depots that made Chicago a hub for shipping and travel, so its traffic mixed carriages, streetcars, and pedestrians with the flow of people arriving and leaving the stations. Views like this one capture the dense commercial character that drew visitors and merchants alike. Look closely at the storefronts and street details for clues to how the district worked a century ago.
