This tall smokestack was still standing as late as 1938. I wonder if it shows up in any vintage photographs from that era.
(like downtown aerials looking northwest)

the article is from June 1938

I realize the smokestack was located down in a ravine, but there's a chance the upper half might be visible.
-note the two gas-o-meters in the distance at right (I believe they are the tanks by Union Station)

*the article also states that there were two smokestacks at this location (Chavez Ravine) at one time.
Let's dig up some photos!
