Loving these images. The grime on the buildings came from the massive coke ovens at the southside steel mills. It would be a great help to know the exact year of each image or set of images. Keep them coming, and thanks.

Azn, liked the first ones and Sears, but why did you include Park Tower construction and 90's stuff?
