Any guesses on where this 1914 photograph was taken? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
It’s 52nd and Market, the Nixon Theater, 28 S. 52nd St.
Thanks Andrew. Obviously shot from the then 10-year-old-or-so elevated train tracks. I kind of wish that Hats store on the foreground right was still there.
It looks like it is just south of 52nd and Market street
I think it”s 60th Street. I remember my parents talking about a hat store at 60th and Locust.
The Nixon theater wasn’t on 60th Street.
The Nixon was at 52 and Lombard. The Capitol was on 60th St.
