T. Byrne O’Donnell, sales manager for a Chicago publisher of industry directories, in his east-facing east tower apartment at Marina City in 1962. The chairs in this black-and-white photo were green, blue, and brown plaid, according to a Chicago Sun Times caption. The carpeting was “two-tone beige” and the draperies had a “leaf pattern of greens and browns on beige background.”

These cardstock notices (five inches wide by 1¾ inch tall) were given to residents in the mid-1960s to let them know a parcel was waiting for them. The red notice reads, “A parcel for you has been delivered to the package room. Please call for it at your earliest convenience. Thank you.”
The blue notice calls it “a bulky parcel.” The graphic to the left of the text is an aerial illustration of the complex.

This card, apparently signed by William L. McFetridge, president of the union that invested in Marina City, welcomed new resident Earl Meech to the complex in 1963. |
