tunnel vision: a closer look at recently digitized early glass negatives of chicago's old underground tunnel system

the bldg. 51 archive acquired some glass negatives taken by or for the chicago tunnel and/or illinois tunnel company (the latter took over construction and operations beginning in 1905).
the work was subcontracted out to the illinois telephone construction company with george w. jackson acting as head engineer.
the photos were likely taken by the chicago architectural photographing company.
note: additional materials on tunnel builder george w. jackson and his contracting business included below.
