Known for its quick access to and from trains, this iconic transportation hub was a symbol of progress and modernity during that era. The Train Concourse, spanning an impressive 60,000 square feet, is showcased as a vaulted building situated at the heart of the Plaza between Canal Street and the River. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with people going about their daily activities. Passengers eagerly await their departures or reunite with loved ones upon arrival. The architecture of the station is striking, reflecting both grandeur and functionality. Printed by the renowned Curt Teich Company, this lithograph postcard offers a glimpse into Chicago's rich history and serves as a testament to its prominence as one of America's major cities. This piece of artwork allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also highlights how train travel played an integral role in connecting people across North America.

Overall, this image invites us to step back in time and imagine ourselves amidst the hustle and bustle of early 20th-century Chicago - where dreams were born and journeys began.
