  This is great! It shows the Studebaker factory/showroom building (built in 1885) before it added some stories and became the Fine Arts Building (in 1898). (The floors behind the arched windows were the showrooms for Studebaker horse-drawn carriages, and the smaller windows above were for the assembly of the carriages.) You can also see that Adler & Sullivan's Auditorium Building had not gone up yet, to the left.
