Industrial areas along the North Branch of the Chicago River

 

View northwest along the North Branch of the Chicago River from the Holiday Inn Mart Plaza Hotel (350 W. Mart Center Drive). The West Kinzie Street bridge spans the river in the lower foreground, and large parking lots cover the land on either side. Further upriver, in the upper part of the photograph, are the West Grand Avenue bridge and, directly behind it, the Ohio Street bridge. The Wallace Press Building stands along North Kingsbury Street on the east side of the river. Behind it are the Montgomery Ward Catalog and Retail Sales building (Mail Order House), the Montgomery Ward Administration building, and the Montgomery Ward Headquarters tower (now The Montgomery condominiums).
