December 1960. "Interior, barber shop. Republic Building, 209 South State Street, Chicago. Architects, Holabird & Roche. Completed 1905; demolished 1961." Photo by Richard Nickel the Historic American Buildings Survey. View full size.
As a long time Chicagoan / photography fan / architecture fan, Richard Nickel is one of my heroes. I'm very glad to see some of his work on your site. This is the first one I've noticed - are there more?
