Original title: Interior of butcher shop of Henry J Ridings
Photographer: Unknown
Location: 197 S. Canal St, Chicago. IL
I couldn't find any info on this, why it was photographed and made. I like that they aren't standing in front of it with a no-grin smile. Love the tall ceilings. Still wonder how long the meat kept, and how they too it down without hurting themselves.
This is the butcher shop of Henry J Ridings, he was a butcher as you can clearly see, loved hanging heavy meat high up along the ceiling where the flies can't get to it. He had interesting taste with decor, the wood carvings really bring out the meat grain.
