Looking east into the Canaryville neighborhood at about 42nd Street. Rare view of the Stock Yard Inn that was a famous steak restaurant and little known hotel. Eisenhower stayed there once while President. Too bad high res shots were not available… I can see long gone vestiges like the “Emerald Hotel” that catered to ranchers who delivered livestock and stayed over night. Dick Stokes Standard Oil Gas Station, Wheeler Building and more.
