C1918 Photograph Michigan Avenue Chicago Illinois Street Scene Tribune Advertisement. Size: approximately 3.25 in x 4.25 in. This antique photo depicts Michigan Avenue in Chicago Illinois in the late 1910s. In the distance, you can see old cars and a building with Chicago Tribune painted on the side, water tank on top. Michigan Avenue is a historic north-south street in Chicago that runs at 100 east on the Chicago grid. The northern end of the street is at Lake Shore Drive on the shore of scenic Lake Michigan in the Gold Coast Historic District. The street’s southern terminus is at Sibley Boulevard in the southern suburb of Dolton, but like many other Chicago streets, it inevitably exists in several disjointed segments. As the home of the Chicago Water Tower, the Art Institute of Chicago, Millennium Park, and the shopping on the Magnificent Mile, it is a street well known to Chicago natives nowadays as well as tourists to the city. Michigan Avenue also is the main commercial street of Streeterville. It includes all of the Historic Michigan Boulevard District and most of the Michigan-Wacker Historic District, including the scenic urban space anchored by the DuSable (Michigan Avenue) Bridge.
