I have a question for the Chicago history sleuths out there (paging @ForgottenChi). purl.dlib.indiana.edu/iudl/archives/… What was this large structure on the near northwest side of Chicago? It looks absolutely enormous. Was it near goose island?

There was construction on northbound Halsted Street, which was a blessing in disguise because we wound up at the Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church. A kind employee saw us gazing at the building and welcomed us inside for photos + a nearly 30min convo about machine politics.
