North Shore Congregation Israel

North Shore Congregation Israel is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 1185 Sheridan Road in Glencoe, on the North Shore of Chicago, in Illinois, in the United States. History The congregation started in 1920 as the North Shore branch of Chicago's Sinai Congregation, and is the oldest Reform synagogue in the Chicago's North Shore suburbs. The decision to establish a separate congregation had been a subject of concerned discussion for a number of years, and was perceived as an important step in the evolution of the Jewish presence in the North Shore as a separate community. The first full-time rabbi was Harvey Wessel in 1926. The congregation's 1964 building is located on a 19-acre (7.7 ha) lakefront parcel, formerly the location of a 1911 mansion that was designed by Chicago architect David Adler for his uncle, hat manufacturer Charles A. Stonehill, and was later owned by Syma Cohen Busiel, the co-founder of Lady Esther cosmetics, before it was sold to the congregation in 1961 for $500,000. The synagogue building was designed by the well-known, Detroit-based modernist architect Minoru Yamasaki. Yamasaki composed the building as a series of arching fan vaults. The voids between the concrete shells of the fan vaults are filled with colored glass above and clear glass at eye level. Yamasaki describes his design as "a confluence of daylight and solids." The building has been described as representative of "a period of post-war modernism that was characterized by assertive architectural gestures that had the strength and integrity to stand alone, without applied artwork or Jewish iconography." Architecture critic Samuel D. Gruber chose an image of the interior of Yamasaki's sanctuary for the cover of his book American Synagogues: A Century of Architecture and Jewish Community, and has noted that this "dramatic, awe-inspiring space" was "hard to use by a congregation, so a smaller sanctuary was built in 1979. Together, the two connected buildings create a portrait of Jewish aspirations in the late-20th century." In celebration of the 2018 Illinois Bicentennial, the North Shore Congregation Israel Synagogue was selected as one of the Illinois 200 Great Places by the American Institute of Architects Illinois component.

Northbrook Public Library

The Northbrook Public Library, located at 1201 Cedar Lane, serves the 35,222 residents of the Village of Northbrook, Illinois. The library received 237,708 visitors and circulated 737,708 items from its collection of 239,294 books, audio materials, and videos in 2023. Library Journal gave the Northbrook Public Library its highest rating of 5 stars in 2012, 2013, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 based on circulation, visits, program attendance and public internet use per capita. History The Northbrook Public Library first opened on June 30, 1952, following a referendum spearheaded by Bertram Pollak, president of the Northbrook Civic Association, C. E. Barthel, Jr., who became the library board president, and Carolyn A. Landwehr, who became the library board secretary. The library was originally housed in meeting and office space at the village hall (now the Northbrook Civic Foundation building) with a capacity for 6,500 volumes. Freda Thorson was the first librarian. In 1953, the Northbrook Civic Association provided funds of $27,500 to build a new, one-story library at the corner of Shermer and Church Street that could accommodate 12,000 volumes. The new library was dedicated on March 21, 1954. By 1967, the library had exceeded its capacity with a collection of 31,000 volumes, and voters approved a referendum for a new building at the library's current location at the corner of Cedar and Cherry, on the bank of the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River. The library was designed by the architecture firm of Hammond and Roesch and cost $1 million. The new steel frame building had 28,000 square feet of floor space and room for 110,000 volumes. The main part of the library was on a single floor raised above ground level to provide views and to protect the collection from the river flooding. The design earned a Distinguished Building Award from the Chicago Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Opening day was May 25, 1969. The library building has undergone two major expansions. In 1999, a $10.5 million addition gave the library a new third floor—housing the fiction and multimedia collections—as well as an enlarged children's department, study rooms, classrooms, and banks of computer terminals on the second floor. In 2014, a $6.5 million construction project began to renovate the first floor meeting rooms and create a modern auditorium with tiered seating. In 2021 the main lobby was remodeled with a new mural, new self checkout machines, a new automated sorting machines, and many more new upgrades.

History Northfield Square opened on August 1, 1990, at the intersection of Illinois Route 50 and Larry Power Road, just north of the Interstate 57 interchange. The original anchors were Carson Pirie Scott, JCPenney, Sears, and Venture. When the mall opened in 1990, it was 40 percent vacant. In 2012, the mall was 11.7 percent vacant. On June 20, 2018, it was announced that Express Factory Outlet would open in the mall. The store would open next to Carson Pirie Scott. Around the corner from Daily Journal (since relocated to 8 Dearborn Square) near JCPenney opened Willow Spa and Barbershop On The Square, right next to Paul Mitchell - The School. On January 4, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 103 stores nationwide. The store closed on April 9, 2018. On April 18, 2018, it was announced that Carson Pirie Scott would also be closing both locations on August 29, 2018, as parent company The Bon-Ton Stores was going out of business leaving JCPenney as the sole anchor at the mall. On June 4, 2020, it was announced that JCPenney would be closing around October 2020 as part of a plan to close 154 stores nationwide. When JCPenney closed, the mall no longer had a traditional anchor store left. Cinemark Theatres is the largest current tenant. The mall is expected to be redeveloped in the future, with the Village of Bradley having purchased the former Carson's Men's Store anchor in October 2019. The annual Kankakee County Strawberry Jazz Festival takes place at the mall. On February 14, 2025, the Village of Bradley purchased the mall from Namdar. Currently they are working on a plan to demolish the anchors to add Illinois' largest water park. Redevelopment of the mall will take place. However, the redevelopment plans and date is not known. Sometime in late March 2025, the mall's website, which was managed by Namdar, was deactivated as Namdar no longer owns the mall. References External links Northfield Square website

The Robey

The Robey (formerly known as Northwest Tower and the Coyote Building) is a 12-story Art Deco hotel at the corner of North Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park, Chicago. It was designed by Perkins, Chatten & Hammond and built between 1928 and 1929. Overview The Robey is one of the first skyscrapers in Chicago to have been constructed outside the downtown area. The tower was built on the site of the Noel State Bank, near the Damen stop on the Chicago "L", at the intersection of Damen, North and Milwaukee Avenues. Milwaukee Avenue runs northwest through Chicago’s grid of streets, creating intersections that often have a “flatiron” or wedge-shaped building on one corner, like this building. It was originally marketed to attorneys, doctors, and other professionals. In the 1980s, it became home to the Tower Coyote Gallery, reportedly named because artists thought the building resembled a howling coyote. Over the next two decades, the surrounding neighborhood held an annual arts festival called Around the Coyote. In 2008, the Chicago Zoning Board approved plans to convert the building into a hotel, but financial difficulties prevented the building's owner from moving ahead with the project. Renovation as a hotel began in 2015 and ended in 2017 when it opened as the Robey Hotel, with its address at 2018 W. North Avenue and its neighborhood now called Wicker Park. Robey Street was an early name for Damen Avenue. The Grupo Habita did the design of the renovation and operates the hotel. The building received praise for its use of “layering” interior designs of rooms and restaurants from all the decades of the building’s history. The warehouse on the adjacent lot was renovated to include a swimming pool and gym. Hotel In 2012, the property was purchased by a venture backed by Don Wilson and AJ Capita with the intent to renovate the property into a boutique hotel. The Robey hotel is named after the prior street name for Damen Avenue, offers 69 rooms and Cafe Robey serving French-American cuisine. The hotel is operated by Grupo Habita, a Mexico-based hotel group with 14 hotels in Mexico and one in New York. Renovation From 2015 to 2017, Northwest Tower was renovated by the Chicago-based Antunovich Associates as the architect of record, design work by Brussels offices of Nicolas Schuybroek Architects, and interior work by Marc Merckx Interiors.

Northwestern Technological Institute

The Northwestern Technological Institute (commonly known as "Tech") is a landmark building at Northwestern University. Built from 1940 to 1942, it is the main building for students and faculty in the Northwestern University School of Engineering. The School of Engineering itself was called the Northwestern Technological Institute before a major gift from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation gave it the present name in 1989. History The construction of the building became possible after Walter Patton Murphy, a wealthy inventor of railroad equipment, donated $6.735 million on March 20, 1939. Murphy wanted the Institute to offer a new kind of “cooperative education” model for engineering, with academic courses and practical application in industrial settings closely integrated. Construction To make room for the new building, the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house and the Dearborn Observatory were moved, and the original Patten Gymnasium was demolished. Ground was broken for the new building on April 1, 1940 and the building was dedicated on June 15–16, 1942. The building was designed by the architectural firm of Holabird & Root in the shape of two letter E's, placed back to back and joined by a central structure. Each of the six departments at the time occupied one wing. When it was built it was the largest building on Northwestern's Evanston campus. After the construction of Tech was completed in December 1942, Northwestern received an additional bequest of $28 million from Murphy's estate to provide for an engineering school "second to none". New wings and neighboring buildings In 1961, construction began on two new wings, which were added to the eastern ends of the building, along with additions to the library and physics wing. The expansion, dedicated in October, 1963, was prompted by a $3.4 million contract awarded by the Advanced Research Agency of the Department of Defense. In 1973, a new entrance terrace was dedicated. By the end of the 1980s, the building was again in need of repair. After a $30 million grant from the McCormick Foundation in 1989, the school was renamed in honor of Robert R. McCormick. In 1999, a ten-year, $125 million renovation of the Technological institute was completed. This renovation, undertaken by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, included extensive reconstruction of the interior of the original 1940 structure, replacing the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems, and reconfiguring the laboratory and research space. Additional buildings have been constructed around the original Technological Institute, connected together by pedestrian bridges to create what has been called the "Technological Campus". Among them are the Seeley G. Mudd Library for Science and Engineering opened in 1977, the Center for Catalysis and Surface Science in 1986, and Cook Hall in 1989. More recent additions to the "Technological Campus" include Hogan Hall, the Pancoe Life Sciences Pavilion, the Center for Nanofabrication, and the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center.
