6 years after the Cubs won their second World Series and 102 years before they won their third
And just 3 years before the white Sox won their 2nd
Who Cares 😂?
My grandparents were married and moved to Chicago in 1914. My mother was born in 1917. This was their Chicago.
You must be far older then me
All four of my grandparents were born in Chicago between 1913 and 1920.
Imagine... Most of the people captured in the video probably had relatives that fought in the Civil War, just some 49 years prior! WW2 was 76 years ago, and my grandparents lived during that time... It's just amazing to think about just HOW MUCH changed from the Civil War era to the time this derigible flew... And from that time to WW2. And from then, to today.
Really makes me wonder what my grandkids, or great grand kids, will witness 49 years from now...
Thanks to poster for the journey back in time.
What struck me was not how much was different from modern Chicago but how much is the same. As it flies around and I recognized buildings and landmarks. the breakwalls around the harbor, the sail boats moored there, El' train tracks etc. In over 100 years a lot has changed, but a lot is still the same. The things we do today matter and can have long lasting impacts.
@@AndrewWellsPlus totally agreed, and a great point. I'm not so familiar with Chicago myself (have only visited once, and think it's probably the most impressive in terms of the architectural beauty of all the cities in the U.S. for me). But I can imagine that it's also pretty incredible to think about how little has changed at the same time, after all these years.
It's really humbling, and I think your point is most important "The things we do today matter and can have long lasting impacts." Cheers.
As someone who was born in the Chicago suburbs, went to college in the city, worked downtown for 5 years, and only last July moved across the country (haven't been back to visit yet, on account of COVID), this was beautiful and bittersweet. So many places I just barely recognize. The music is a perfect blend of thoughtful, optimistic, and soothing, too. Thank you for this.
I love Chicago. I hate how is being destroyed by gangs
This is truly amazing to me, my great grandmother was only a few years old living in chicagoland when this was taken, its amazing to see how much the world changed in just her lifetime. thanks for sharing this!
You can say that again. I can't imagine what the world will look like in another hundred years
This was filmed just 11 days before Ferdinand was killed at Sarajevo, the event which sparked the WW1.
The world was about to change forever. Mind blowing.
You know your history Silver just like me!
I fly drones in Chicago. This is giving me goosebumps. I will be back to analyse this video frame by frame.I recognize many buildings and locations where landmarks of today now stand
Thank you for watching, this is one of my favorites as well. I lived in Chicago briefly in '04, great town. Here's a link to the original from the National Archives on CZcams. It isn't listed on their actual site for some reason. czcams.com/video/SxCFCoI2pjk/video.html&t
I'm going to Re-master this 1080 version we did into 4K in the near future
Not sure why, but it's the smoke/steam that makes me feel really connected to this film. I dunno, the way it moves, maybe, the fact that it's something so distinct, so familiar, and it's the same now as it was over a hundred years ago. It feels odd that it's THAT bringing these images to life for me.
That, and the people below, just strolling and having conversations about whatever was going on in their life at this moment.
This was a lovely thing to share with everyone. Thank you.
Yea same here..I was wondering at first if it was Winter time or not? Thinking that steam was thicker due to it being cold..But later in the clip,i see it look's as if the tree's have the leaves intact ..And you'd have to be outta yer mind ,to fly outside of that thing on a Chicago winters day, lol
@@tonyedwards2064 I wonder if it had an effect on the weather ? All that steam vapour day in day out.
Incredible footage. This is a trip to the White City Amusement Park from Grant Park in Chicago. 5 years later the derigible crashed into the Illinois Trust and Savings in Chicago.
Great video! Fascinating to see people having fun and going about their lives more than a hundred years ago.
Thanks for sharing these amazing snapshots from another time, really great stuff !
This is so cool. Thank you for those enhancements and awesome Chicago views! Gracias 😊
Amazing, the era of Model T's , railroad as king , shipping too, and a city with no expressways and the first skyscrapers. Lake front had more attractions , that the city should rebuild to make our life better.
This was a year before the Eastland disaster. One of those ships on the lake could have been it. Imagine the passengers in the boat looking up and thinking, those people up there are crazy to get into that flying contraption. These must have been some well heeled Chicagoans to get to go for a ride in this airship. The few times there wasn't traffic on Lake Shore Drive.
OMG! Timestamp 8:15 forward.... my childhood playground. All that land across the street from that beach resort is now covered in buildings. And that end-of-the -line trainstop at that beach is still used as the last stop for the CTA bus, Eastbound. That spot is blocks from Rainbow beach.
This song coupled with the charming visual is amazing! I can’t stop watching this
The white sox have 3 world series wins all around the same time as the cubs. The world series win in 1906 for the white sox was against the cubs
A different planet
Wow the beauty of my city 😍
This was just 43 years after the great Chicago Fire...
L.A. Beast represent!
Thought I was watching him at first. It's safe to say that the music he uses is definitely tied to him

It's insane that this was over 100 years ago.
Watching this film, I'm reminded of the young wives of US Army officers who crossed the plains and the southwest with their husbands in the 1870s and lived long enough to see America grow into the global power it became in the first 30 years of the 20th century. They left their diaries and published their books. Martha Summerhayes, Lydia Spencer Lane, Frances Roe, Ellen McGowen Biddle, Eunice Hunt Tripler among others. Their books are now coming back into print.
Awesome video.
Thanks. Footage was tough to wrangle up, even though it's public domain. I'm going to do a more extensive remaster of it soon. Should look even better.
@@RandomStrangeHistoryTV I look forward to seeing that.
Amazing
SO MANY CARS! What? Was this an add for the model T as well as the first arial flight? Just wow.
Uhg, no genius, this is the reality of 1914. Not the textbook guesses you assemble in your head about what the 1910s looked like. Further more, I guarantee to you that only 8% of the vehicles in this are Ford Model Ts, if we don't decide to forgot about Studebakers, Maxwells, Paiges, Jeffreys, REOs, Haynes', Cadillacs. At 8:16 , it would be laughable to own a Model T parked at that club house.
*South shore country club
University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park from 7:03-7:36
I'm listening to "Svefn-g-englar" by Sigur Ros while watching this. Happened by chance, but I highly recommend it.
Movies were hi-tech then, too!
And just think, if one were around in that distant year of 1914-a year by the way of historic world changes-one would have seen the world of that time in color!
It's a treasure.
Incredible footage---glad it was still intact and to be seen for today.
At 8:00, is that the Field Museum? Or the Museum of Science and Industry?
Also, at 8:30, what building is that...? It looks like some kind of Beach Front resort---whatever it was, it's long gone by now.
At timestamp 8:30, that Beach Front resort.... guess what, it still stands today! I grew up there- visited it on a daily basis. Lots of History there; not all good. My grandparents were not welcomed there. That's the Historical South Shore Country Club. It spans from 67th South Shore Drive Street to 71st South Shore Drive. Google maps will show you.
Who build these buildings
Just saying at that time they used hydrogen not helium.
I didn't know that. I hope it was a Non-Smoking cabin, for the neighborhoods beneath sake.
That's one hell of a drone. Btw hai reddit.
It was a whole different city back then. So many buildings in this video are completely gone
Wow, thanks for the upload.
Does anyone know about the music? Can anyone tell me the name of this song?

@@RandomStrangeHistoryTV Thank you so much :)
Hey LA Beast
have a good day!
What is this castle starting at the 7:11 mark?
Does anyone know what the domed structure is that appears on the right hand side at around 3:45? It looks like a cathedral of some kind I'm guessing off of Wabash (not for from Adams) downtown? It's long gone now... Thanks!
That is the old Federal Building that was shamefully torn down in 1965.
@@brianmiller9932 thanks! Agreed it’s a shame they let it go…
This rare film was made just 5 years before the infamous 1919 Chicago race riots!
what is the building at 8:25- 8:30
South Shore Country Club, this South Side icon was penned by architects Marshall and Fox in 1905. Today it is the South Shore Cultural Center.
I came to ask the same question. Thanks!
that's the same building that was used in Blues Brothers for the exterior shots of the venue for their concert near the end of the film in case it is familiar to you.
@@Ben-bb7mi I love that movie. There are 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.
What is the name of the music?
No ugly interstates cutting through or miles and miles of cars and traffic lights
Crazy to see barely any cars
I find it crazy to see how many cars there are compared to horse and wagons.
Watching pedestrians cross Lake Shore Drive is a trip.
Is that the same air ship that crashed in the Bank ceiling?
No, that was a Goodyear Blimp in 1919.
@@RandomStrangeHistoryTV thanks
@@RandomStrangeHistoryTV yes. It originated from the White City Amusement Park.
What is the building at 7:52? czcams.com/video/eFVl3Dbus6U/video.html
I think the Drake Hotel is there today, but that wasn't built until 1920. I can't find anything online that cites what may have stood there. I can guess that It could have been a church, but that's only a guess. Thanks for watching and let me know if you can dig any info up.
@@RandomStrangeHistoryTV (I'm going to try leaving this message one more time. I don't know why my comments keep disappearing.)
That's not Oak Street beach on the film - it's the 58th Street beach. The building in question is the German Building, left over from the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. It was just southeast of the Palace of Fine Arts, which we now know as the Museum of Science and Industry (and which the film shows in the next scene). Unlike most of the Fair's buildings, the German Building was meant to be a permanent structure. Although we can see it survived to 1914, it's gone today.
