Description of the collection:
Primarily includes general views,
buildings, street scenes, and industrial scenes from the 19th century model
workingman's community of Pullman (Ill.), now part of the city of Chicago.
Includes the Administration and Arcade buildings, church, clock tower, Hotel
Florence, railroad station and other public buildings. Also includes views of
homes and one apartment building (McShane building) with a few interior views
dating from the 1960s and 1970s. Scenes of industrial buildings show building
construction under the Pullman Standard Company, ca. 1895-1926 (the successor
to George Pullman's enterprise), exterior and interior views--some with
workingmen--of structures mainly devoted to the railroad car industry. Photographs
of the Packard auto body shop at Pullman primarily show Packard automobiles.
Interiors and exterior views of the Pullman School of Manual Training generally
do not show students. Citizens are shown at war bond rallies during World War
II and in a few group portraits.
Provenance:
This is a composite collection
composed of material removed from Image File, Topical, during 1987
reorganization and other sources. Some items are copy photoprints made from the
Pullman-Standard photograph collection (1982.0157). Also includes album named,
"The Town of Pullman," ca. 1894, donated by Charles W. Bryan, Jr., in
1959. Also includes photographs made by the Chicago Area Camera Clubs
Association for the Chicagoland-in-Pictures project, ca. 1960-1979.
