Print, Photographic

One black and white photograph showing a new seawall under construction along the North Branch of the Chicago River near Belmont Avenue. The photo shows steel bracing along the back side of a new seawall that has not yet been backfilled with earth. The side deck of a barge can be seen at the left side of the photo. A steel piling, loose aggregate, and an earth embankment are visible in the center and right foreground. Typewritten labels near the lower corners read "Fitz Simons & Connell Dredge & Dock Div., Dunbar & Sullivan Dredging Co.," and "Material Service Yard No. 3, 80.5 L.F. of M227 Steel Dock, View Looking North Toward Belmont Ave., F.C. 1268. April 23, 1971." A black ink stamp on the verso reads "Calumet Studio, Arthur P. Stalla, 768-1951, Reorder No. FC7130."
