description: Backside: No. 286. Randolph Street, Eastward, Chicago, Ill Our picture represents the center of the lawyers’ district in the heart of the business part of Chicago. On the right hand are seen that stately columns of the upper floors of the City Hall, and County Building, doomed to be replaced by new structures, although they have been standing only about 25 years. On the left is the Sherman House, one of the famous hostelries of the city, beyond which, at the corner of Clark street, looms the Ashland Block, filled almost exclusively with lawyers, the Schiller Building, containing a large theater, and the Masonic Temple. Chicago is the second city of the United States in manufacture and commerce. It has about 20,000 manufacturing establishments with a capital of nearly $600,000,000, and a production of $1,000,000,000 a year, these figures remaining about one-third below those of New York.
