Hey,
First I just want to say what a fantastic blog you have. I really enjoy it. Second I think I may have can identify the building in these photos.
I think these photos are from what is now Soldier Field in Chicago. Today its look quite different from when it officially opened in 1924 when it was called Municipal Grant Park Stadium. It was later renamed Soldier Field in 1925. The original design by Holabird and Roche followed that of an Ancient Greek or Roman stadium, its signature feature are the Doric columns that run along the length of the stadium that were "incorporated" in to the rennovations in 2002-2003.
