Peoria, Illinois, in 1907 was a river city on the Illinois River, where distilling, farm implement manufacturing, and grain shipping drove the local economy and drew workers from across the region. Several rail lines ran through the city, carrying goods and people to and from the surrounding farm counties. This panoramic photograph shows members of the Creve Coeur Club gathered for a formal banquet, a common ritual among the city's business and professional men, who used such clubs to build connections and display their standing. Men in that circle often shaped Peoria's civic affairs, from city government to charitable and cultural causes.
