Description
This vintage postcard showcases the imposing Van Buren Street Viaduct in Chicago, a gray and brown elevated railway soaring over city streets and tracks. The muted earth-toned buildings in the background add to the nostalgic charm of this 1950s scene. A handwritten message references a screen door, a car, and abating excitement.
