View looking northwest from a construction site occupying the block bounded by North Grand Avenue, West Illinois Street, North Franklin Street, and North Orleans Street. Behind the construction site on the right, 318 West Grand Avenue, 316 West Grand Avenue, and part of 300 West Grand Avenue are visible. The facade of the Off Center Building (300 West Grand Avenue) is painted with a trompe-l'oeil mural showing a cutaway view of the building's interior. The Montgomery Ward & Company Headquarters (now The Montgomery condominiums) is in the distance near the center of the photograph.
