Evergreen Cemetery (Bloomington, Illinois)

Evergreen Cemetery is a cemetery in Bloomington, Illinois. It is also known as Evergreen Memorial Cemetery. History The cemetery was originally two separate cemeteries, adjacent to each other. The first was the Bloomington Cemetery, founded in 1850 by the Bloomington Cemetery Association; the other was Evergreen Cemetery, founded in 1860. The Bloomington Cemetery was funded by city tax dollars, while Evergreen was privately funded and maintained. The website of the current cemetery claims Evergreen was founded in the early 1820s. Over the years, Evergreen suffered from vandalism and deterioration. Community action in the 1950s and 1960s forced the city of Bloomington to buy out the owners of Evergreen Cemetery in 1963, creating the merged Evergreen Memorial Cemetery. The grounds of Evergreen Memorial Cemetery, which are maintained by staff and community members, include a Civil War burial section. Events Since 1995, the McLean County Museum has offered tours of the cemetery the last Saturday & Sunday of September and the first Saturday & Sunday of October. The Evergreen Cemetery Discovery Walk combines historical research by Museum volunteers, costumed actors from Illinois Voices Theatre, and Evergreen Memorial Cemetery into a week-long outdoor theatrical production. People who contributed to central Illinois’ history are shown through costumed actors assuming the characters of McLean County’s ancestors. Presented is not only the "who's who" of McLean County but also the regular day-to-day voices from the past, people who have contributed to the growth, diversity and success of McLean County.

F.B. Henderson House

The F.B. Henderson House is a Frank Lloyd Wright designed Prairie School home in Elmhurst, Illinois. History This house was one of just a few built during Wright's brief partnership with Webster Tomlinson, the only partnership Wright ever had. However, Wright remained the designing partner of the firm, with Tomlinson acting as the business manager. It was listed for sale in 2019 and is currently a private residence. Design The interior floor plan is similar to that of the Warren Hickox House, although the exteriors are very different. The plan of the house is also similar, in the main living spaces, to the Edwin H. Cheney House of Oak Park. The home has one large space subtly divided into library, living room, and dining room, all in-line. A large veranda off the living room overlooks the over one-half acre of landscaped grounds. The house has over 80 art glass windows, elegant woodwork, three brick fireplaces, and many built-ins.

F. F. Tomek House

The F. F. Tomek House, also known as The Ship House or as the Ferdinand Frederick and Emily Tomek House, is a historic house in Riverside, Illinois. It is a prominent example of Prairie School design by Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed in 1904 and finished in 1906, the Tomek House is a well-preserved example of the style. In addition to being a good example of the Prairie style, the Tomek house documents the development of the style, which reached its clearest expression in Wright's Robie House in 1908. It is included in the Riverside Historic District and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1999. History The Tomek House was constructed for Ferdinand Frederick Tomek from 1905 to 1906. Tomek worked in a factory that produced picture frames and wooden moldings. The Tomeks resided in the house until 1924. The house is considered an important artifact of the development of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School of design. Barry Byrne was the assistant architect for the house. The Tomek house served as a model for the Robie House, Wright's famed 1910 design. Like most of his projects, Wright designed the furniture for the Tomek house. In 1973, the Illinois Historic Structures Survey identified it as a significant site. The house has been extensively restored. The Illinois Department of Conservation approved a grant for this purpose to the Moran family in 1979. The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency approved the changes and issued a Certificate of Rehabilitation. In 1993, the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy was offered an easement to help protect the residence. On January 20, 1999, the house was named a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service, owing to its role as a site of national-level significance.

Fabyan Villa

Die Fabyan Villa in Geneva im amerikanischen Bundesstaat Illinois gelegen, war in der Zeit ab etwa 1908 bis 1939 die Wohnstatt von George Fabyan (1867–1936) und seiner Ehefrau Nelle Fabyan, geb. Wright. Er war ein sehr erfolgreicher Geschäftsmann, der ein Millionenvermögen mit dem von seinem Vater geerbten Textilhandel verdiente. Die Villa zeichnet sich dadurch aus, das sie im Jahr 1907 durch den Architekten Frank Lloyd Wright (1867–1959) umgebaut worden ist. Sie wurde 1984 in das National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) (deutsch „Nationales Verzeichnis historischer Stätten“) aufgenommen (siehe auch: Liste der Einträge im National Register of Historic Places im Kane County). Sie ist heute das Fabyan-Villa-Museum und kann besichtigt werden. Geschichte Die Villa stellt das Herzstück des Fabyan-Anwesens dar. Es handelt sich um ein etwa 120 Hektar großes Grundstück, genannt Riverbank Estate, das direkt am Fox River im Norden von Illinois liegt. Hier errichtete Fabyan auch seine private Denkfabrik zum Zwecke der Erforschung diverser wissenschaftlicher und auch pseudowissenschaftlicher Fragestellungen, die Riverbank Laboratories (Bild). Dieses Forschungsinstitut befasste sich während des Ersten Weltkriegs intensiv und erfolgreich mit Kryptanalyse und entzifferte verschlüsselte Botschaften der Mittelmächte und Mexikos. Auch wurden hier amerikanische Offiziere in Kryptologie ausgebildet. Ferner umfasste es ein Akustiklabor, das durch den amerikanischen Physiker Wallace Clement Sabine (1868–1919) aufgebaut und nach dessen Tod durch seinen Vetter Paul Sabine (1879–1958) zu einem der führenden Akustikinstitute der Vereinigten Staaten ausgebaut wurde. Im Jahr 1947 wurde das Labor von der Armour Research Foundation (ARF) übernommen, dem heutigen Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute (IITRI). Die Fabyan-Villa und der größte Teil des Anwesens wurden im Jahr 1939 durch den Forest Preserve District des Kane County (Illinois) erworben. Er wandelte die Villa in ein Museum um, das noch heute besichtigt werden kann. Im Jahr 1995 übernahmen die Preservation Partners of the Foax Valley (PPFV) die Verwaltung von Anwesen und Villa. Das heutige Fabyan-Villa-Museum ist ein historisches Heimatmuseum, in dem Fotografien, persönliche Gegenstände der Fabyans und einige ihrer Möbel der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden. Die PPFV bieten von Zeit zu Zeit Führungen durch das Landgut und die Villa an (siehe auch: Weblinks).

Fairview Avenue/Downers Grove station

Fairview Avenue is one of three railroad stations on Metra's BNSF Line in Downers Grove, Illinois. The station is 20.3 miles (32.7 km) from Union Station, the east end of the line. As of 2018, Fairview Avenue is the 113th busiest of Metra's 236 non-downtown stations, with an average of 415 weekday boardings. Though its official address is on Fairview Avenue (hence the name) and Burlington Avenue, the main parking lot is on the south side of the tracks off of nearby Second Street. All parking lots, including the main parking lot are managed by the Village of Downers Grove. The original Fairview Avenue station opened around 1890 and was called East Grove. It was replaced in 1916 by the current structure, which was designed by the engineering staff of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad and cost $3,300 to build. The colonial barn-type design is more akin to railroad stations of the Northeastern United States, such as those on the Long Island Rail Road, and also matching the adjacent Pepperidge Farm bakery. The design was intended to portray a rural image. As of September 8, 2025, Fairview Avenue is served by 64 trains (32 in each direction) on weekdays, and by 36 trains (18 in each direction) on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, 10 trains originate, and seven trains terminate, at Fairview Avenue. Currently, no buses run near the station. Incident On August 26, 1991, a 41-year-old woman, Mary T. Wojtyla, was killed at this station after being struck by a westbound Metra express train. The accident was captured on camera by a railfan and an edited version of the footage cutting out the moment of impact is often used by Operation Lifesaver to stress the importance of rail safety.

Federal Correctional Institution, Greenville

The Federal Correctional Institution Greenville (FCI Greenville) is a medium-security United States federal prison for male offenders in Illinois, with an adjacent satellite prison camp for minimum-security female offenders. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. FCI Greenville is located approximately 43 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri, and 63 miles from Springfield, Illinois. History The prison camp was turned into a women's facility in 2000 in order to make more space for women in the north central U.S. Notable incidents In 2001, David Mack, a central figure in the LAPD Rampart Scandal, was attacked by a group of fellow inmates while jogging in the prison recreation yard at FCI Greenville. The Bureau of Prisons and the FBI refused to confirm that the attack occurred, but Mack's attorney reported that the inmates were gang members who attacked Mack after they saw a television program and read press accounts that detailed Mack's role in stealing from gang members and his connection with fellow officer Rafael Perez, another central figure in the scandal. Mack was taken to a local hospital and was treated for multiple stab wounds and a punctured lung. He was released two days later and returned to the prison.
