Your Chicago Photo Restoration Experts

Chicago photos often show damage from basement flooding (common in older buildings) and humidity. Collections from this area frequently include 1893 World's Fair images, South Side jazz-era portraits, and family photos from Polish, Irish, and Italian immigrant communities on the North Side.

Chicago, founded in 1833, with a population of 2.7 million, has a rich photographic history. Chicago has been a hub of American photography since the mid-1800s, documenting the city's rapid growth from frontier town to world-class metropolis, including the aftermath of the Great Fire and the grandeur of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.

  • Historic Chicago neighborhoods and landmarks
