Notes:

Copelin Commercial Photographers recorded exteriors and interiors of buildings that Chicago's building inspectors visited when they investigated problematic structures during the 1940s, '50s, and '60s. Some general views of streets and intersections taken for the Department of Streets and Sanitation, as well as major commercial buildings also fill out the picture of various neighborhoods. The following items list street names followed by specific addresses within parentheses as well as intersection coordinates and landmark building names. Addresses covered: 50th Pl., East (735); 50th Pl., West (2321); 51st St., West (242, 3300, 3800-28); 54th St., West (855); 55th St. General view; 55th St., East (832, 834, 915-25, 933-43); 55th St., West (2800); 56th St., West (441, 511)
