Midland Hotel
178 W. Adams St., Chicago
September 2002
I like this photo as both a “faded ad” for a defunct hotel (the Midland building is now the upscale W Hotel) and a view of the office tower just behind, 190 S. LaSalle Street, one of my favorite newer buildings downtown. The ad has subsequently been removed.- Pete Anderson

Felt & Tarrant Manfacturing Co.
1711 N. Paulina St., Chicago
July 1999
Felt & Tarrant formerly produced the Comptometer, a primitive early computing device. Like many of the great surviving factories of the North Side, this building has been converted to loft space, this one notably being an artists’ center. – Pete Anderson

“I find these old ads painted on the sides of buildings interesting. I’m trying to capture as many as possible while they still exist. This one is located in the upper 140s off of 8th Avenue behind a police precinct.” Uptown Flavor

Legend has it that the structure of this building was built from the timbers of the Mayflower. This quaint town, just outside London – near Chalfont St. Giles – also boasts having the burial site of William Penn, founder of the Quaker Church and Pennsylvania. (see next posting)
