A Chicago puzzle

Where was this photo by Vivian Maier taken?





It is interesting because of the NYC-style residential density at the foot of the tower in the foreground.

The article has to be wrong... this looks like New York because it IS New York.

kind of a weird one. the taller buildings look midwestern but the lower buildings look nyc. chicago did have some quasi-nyc tenement areas near downtown that were almost completely urban-renewed.

I THINK the highrise second to left in the background is the Ritz Tower on Park Avenue, but could it be the Randolph tower? Can't find the foreground mini-scraper...

My New York theory would mean this is the UES somewhere near Rockefeller University....

OK, thinking the little guy is the Beekman Tower ...

that would make this the UN area...




But I am still unsure on the dark brick building to the right.

i really don't have a good high-resolution intuitive street-level feel for the shape of nyc across time like i do for the midwest or west, or at least its not very fresh. i couldn't read it. but i could still easily tell that something wasn't quite right, not sure how that passed muster.
