Main Street in Galva, Illinois

by John Margolies

Step back in time to the 20th century Midwest with this genuine photo by John Margolies of Main Street in Galva, Illinois. Shot on a bright sunny day with Margolies' trademark unromantic approach, this image includes a line of classic commercial buildings, including some with faded red brick exterior walls with white arch windows, stone construction, and a slight sign from the IOOF (Independent Order of Odd Fellows). Renowned for taking pictures of vanishing American roadside architecture for the Library of Congress' Roadside America project, Margolies' photographs are the perfect embodiment of Henry County, Illinois.

For lovers of mid-century vernacular architecture, urban decay, and Illinois wall art.
