Where would I start to look for an old photograph of the saloon my grandparents owned at the corner of Addison and Clark. It is now the Cubbie Bear. I would love to see what it looked like in 1912 when my father was born. Any suggestions of where to start looking would be very much appreciated.

I struck out with http://www.whatwasthere.com
but it might still be of use to you for other searches.

Hi Sue,
Here's a shot from 1913, but it's of the stadium. Thought you'd still like to see it. Once on the site, click on the photo "A New Ballpark" in the Cubs timeline.

Cant help you with a Photo but part of what is now the cubby bear was Standard condenser up until the late seventies. This would comprise the section west of the corner. Visited my grandfather there many times at work. Lot next to Browns was employee parking. My gramps HATED the Cubs for this reason. It was hell for him to get to work during baseball season. Also railroad tracks ran through the lot, don't know if they still do.
