Found this photo looking south down Seminary at Grace, two blocks north of Wrigley Field:

Great catch Mike.  I have never seen this view before.  Chicago was dirtier back then but also more interesting. 

I also liked seeing TWO Studebakers in this view.  On the right is a '59-'62 Studebaker Lark facing south and west of the track and a '53-'54 Studebaker coupe (probably a Commander) facing north alongside the fence.  It's the first car in the row facing north and on the east of the track.

That's what I thought, looking South. It appears to say North in the picture. Anyways, interesting shot. It's hard to find any of the Lakewood line by Wrigley.

Here's a shot from September 2013, nearly the same spot..  I love this angle.
