One black and white photograph showing a seawall under construction at McCormick Place on the Chicago waterfront. The crane barge, "OJIBWAY," of the Merritt-Chapman & Scott Corporation is using a pile driver to place sections of steel sheet piling for a new seawall. Two other crane barges can be seen to the right. The view looks northwestward with Lake Michigan in the foreground with the project site and shoreline in the background. A black ink stamp on the verso reads "Calumet Studio, Photographers, 3030 E. 92nd St., Chicago 17, Ill., SOuth Chicago 8-1951." Handwritten black ink text reads "Middle of Job - Lakeside, Looking Northwest."
