Comments

Eola, Illinois. View is looking W/NW. That is the Burlington Northern’s Chicago-to-Aurora triple track ‘Racetrack’ cutting across the lower left corner of the picture.

This was the Reber Canning Company, home of Reber Butter Beans. The factory was built in 1905 (Chicago Tribune, 7/29/1976).
