Description
Colorized photo from 1907
Original title: Wabash Ave.
Photographer: Detroit Publishing
Location: 45 East Monroe St, Chicago, IL (looking at S Wabash)
This took forever to repair, the image was very scratched up.
I do wish the photographer adjusted the focus better on this one. Much of the foreground is out of focus, he seemed to have shot it wide open. The focus seems to be from the midpoint on. But its still a cool looking scene, complete with a few rando's posing for the camera in the coolest pose they have.
This scene is nearly a 100% identical to today, minus the horse poop, cobblestone, and that hotel on the corner. Almost all those buildings aren't just intact but are historic monuments.
I had no solid guide to what the hotel colors were. So I went with a Victorian mix, as it was built in that era. And gave it some pinstripes (as the windows did have a color band on them). Along with a fun blue to make the rest stand out.
