PHOTO - CHICAGO - LIBBY PRISON WAS FROM RICHMOND VIRGINIA WAS OBTAINED IN 1888 AND MOVED TO CHICAGO AS A TOURST ATTRACTION - IT FAILED BUT ITS FACADE WAS PRESERVED AS PART OF COLISEUM - 1932
HERE IS A LARGE COLLECTION OF POSTCARDS ABOUT CHICAGO.
MUCH OF THE BUILT-ENVIRONMENT OF THE EARLIER POSTCARDS SURVIVED INTO THE 1950-60s, THE PERIOD OF MY GREATEST INTEREST.INCLUDED ALSO ARE MENUS, MATCHBOOKS, AND OTHER ITEMS REFLECTING CITY LIFE, ESPECIALLY THE 1950-60s.
IT IS HOPED THESE PRESERVE SOMETHING OF THE SENSE OF WHAT A SPECIAL PLACE THE CHICAGO OF THAT TIME WAS IN WHICH TO GROW UP.
