PCC 7203 northbound at Wentworth and 64th in 1957, at the wye located there next to what I believe was an old powerhouse
The Englewood police station is to the right of the "Armour" building, and the Armour Building still stands as of June 2019. The building just north of the "Y" appears to be an old powerhouse. The Rock Island viaduct is in background. The police station in the background was originally built for the Town of Lake in 1884 and housed both a police and fire department. The building became part of the City of Chicago when the Town of Lake was annexed on July 15, 1889. The police station was on the south end of the building and housed the 17th Precinct (Englewood) until the early 1950's.
Engine 51 of the Chicago Fire Department occupied the north end of the building until November 1960. The building was torn down in 1967.
