If I'm not mistaken, we are looking southwest, and the road on the other ide is Green Street. The bridge over Green Street is the Chicago & Northwestern New Line that now runs along the western edge of O'Hare Field.

I must disagree with Ree Kavok (sorry) as the shadows look to be behind the cars which means the sun is to the right of and behind the camera. Given that, this shot looks towards the northeast and would have been taken mid-day. Today's O'Hare would be in the distance extending to the left of the shot. but I could be wrong.

Building still there in 2013 Streetview

"The sister building located at 522 Jefferson, built in 1883, is even more ornate because it has two completely decorated facades, one on Jefferson and one facing 6th Street. The structure is three stories of brick with tile and stone trim in the same designs as its sister. There is a pressed metal cornice, and on Jefferson Street iron columns and corbeled brick cornice. Arch windows, iron balconies and an arch entryway are on the 6th Street side. It has a flat roof, 1x1 lintel windows, masonry load bearing walls, and a stone foundation." npgallery.nps.gov/GetAsset/d848631f-06d4-43e3-9d9c-3a7887...

Still there as of 2019, though the storefront is empty and looking a bit rundown.

The patchwork stones are even more startling in colour; in 2016 via Stuart Smith.

See history of Richmond gate tower

I suppose that’s its second location, it did move about a bit. The stone is Dublin calp limestone. maps.app.goo.gl/BRfAUrNVjFsbqZcY7?g_st=ic

At the NIAH: Richmond Tower was originally constructed at the junction of Watling Street and Victoria Quay, and was moved to the Royal Hospital at Kilmainham in 1847 due to traffic congestion caused by the opening of the new railway terminus at Kingsbridge, now Heuston Station. The gateway was named after the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lieutenant (1807-1813), and was designed by Francis Johnston, who was also responsible for alterations to the courtyard and north range of the main Royal Hospital building in the early years of the nineteenth century.

I never knew it had been moved there, here is a Streetview of its original location at Watling St/The Quays as marked on the 1830s 6" OSI.
