A #36 Broadway CTA streetcar to Devon stops to pick up passengers from a boarding island on State Street at Lake in December of 1954. Among the last of the PCC streetcars built for Chicago in 1947-48, many parts from these cars would later be used in a new fleet of ‘L’ cars in the 1950s.
In front of the State-Lake theater is a CTA (former Chicago Motor Coach company bus heading south), possibly in service as a Hyde Park Express bus.
The State-Lake theater building still exists and is where Channel 7 and its news studio are today.
