EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Republic Building, located at 209 South State Street in Chicago. Taken by renowned photographer Richard Nickel in 1960, this image showcases the architectural marvel that dominated the city's skyline during that era. The Republic Building stands tall amidst a bustling metropolis, its sleek design and towering presence commanding attention from all who pass by. The rooftop offers a breathtaking view of Chicago's mid-century skyline, with skyscrapers reaching for the heavens and creating an awe-inspiring backdrop. In this snapshot, we see a man and woman standing on the rooftop of the Republic Building, seemingly mesmerized by their surroundings. A child is also present, perhaps captivated by the vastness of his urban playground. Their presence adds a touch of humanity to this otherwise monumental scene. Richard Nickel skillfully captures not only the architectural beauty but also evokes a sense of wonderment through his lens. This photograph serves as a time capsule, transporting us back to 1960s America when cities were thriving hubs of progress and innovation. As part of The Granger Collection's art print collection, this photo allows us to appreciate both history and artistry simultaneously. It reminds us why Chicago has always been known as an architectural gem – forever etched into our collective memory through images like these.
