This photograph was made in 2003 along the Chicago River, capturing the final year of the Chicago Sun-Times building, which stood along the riverfront until its demolition in 2004. The site now holds the tower that reshaped this stretch of the skyline.
A Moment from a Changing City
Late afternoon light reflected from the south bank of the river, illuminating the familiar Sun-Times sign as traffic moved across the Michigan Avenue Bridge in the foreground. Flags along the bridge lifted gently in the wind, adding a sense of motion to the otherwise still scene.
A Record of Chicago’s Evolving Skyline
Chicago is a city that continually rebuilds itself. Buildings rise, others disappear, and the skyline shifts with each generation. This photograph preserves a brief moment in that evolution—one familiar view along the river just before it changed forever.
