Plate 79 (2 Drawings) from The Plan of Chicago, 1909: Suggested Location and Arrangement of the Railway Passenger Stations West of the River. Overhead Scheme: 1. Plan at Street Level. 2. Plan Above Street Level 1909

This is a technical drawing by Daniel Hudson Burnham, the architect best known for his work on the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This drawing is one of many from his *Plan of Chicago*, a 1909 plan to modernize the city's transportation system. The work depicts two separate plans for railway passenger stations, one at street level and one above, outlining the complex arrangement of tracks and platforms. Burnham envisioned a streamlined network of train lines, demonstrating his forward-thinking approach to urban planning. The Art Institute of Chicago houses the drawing, which is a significant document of the city's development during the early 20th century.
