How well could you find your way around the Chicago of the past?

This 1956 photo was taken on the South Side — somewhere between 26th and 79th streets, east of Western Avenue. Almost all the visible buildings are still in place nearly 60 years later. There is also an obvious clue that should give away the location to anyone familiar with the South Side.

If you think you can identify this site, send in your guess as a comment. I’ll post a contemporary photo tomorrow.
