This photo shows the covered loading area facing the Chicago River quays, with the old Rush Street Bridge in the background. This is in the area of the Chicago River's banks north of the Loop area projected for redevelopment as Wacker Drive on the south side, and also double-tiered on the north side.
In the loading area are horse-drawn wagons and a truck. One wagon is labeled "Zipprich [Fr]aming Co."
One of a series of study images, 1913-15, when the photographer, planner Edward H. Bennett, was preparing for working on design of the river front.
