Artwork at 79th Street

These two pieces are over the escalators that will take you towards the fare controls on the platform level of the station. Both pieces appear to be pictures pasted on a glass panel with scenes from places around the ward. Especially old pictures.

In the second panel there was a pic of a Walgreen's from way back when and there was once a Walgreen's on 87th and Halsted and in the first I do believe there was a pic of a building that either sat on the corner of 79th & State or at 79th & Cottage Grove.

If there is any more information on these glass panels at the 79th Street Red Line stop please share with us here. Thanks.
