Richards Career Academy

Ellen H. Richards Career Academy (formerly known as Richards Vocational High School) is a public four-year vocational high school located in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the southwest side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Opened in 1946, Richards is operated by the Chicago Public Schools system and is named for environmental chemist Ellen Henrietta Richards. History Richards was established by the Chicago Public Schools in September 1946 as an all-girls vocational school. At the time of its opening, enrollment was 230. The school was initially housed in a former elementary school building at 2535 South Green Street which was used as a barracks during World War I. Prior to Richards, the school building served as a branch of the Englewood High School. The early vocational courses offered at Richards consisted of Home Arts, Dressmaking, Basic Business Training, Bookkeeping, Beauty Culture, Art, Commercial Art, English, History, Commercial Geography, Science, and Physical Education. This curriculum remained unchanged until the 1961–1962 school year when a course in office practice was added. By the 1962–1963 school year, the enrollment had more than doubled, reaching 870. Due to the construction of the Stevenson Expressway, the school was moved from its South Green location to 3031 South Wallace, another building that once housed an elementary school in 1955. The school moved once again to its present location, 5009 South Laflin Street, during the 1967–1968 school year. The new location was selected to provide a new and much larger building, specifically designed for a vocational high school with an increasing enrollment, which was about 1,300 at the time. Richards became co-educational during the 1988–1989 school year. Athletics Richards competes in the Chicago Public League (CPL) and is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). The school sport teams are nicknamed Warriors. The girls' basketball team were regional champions and Class 1A in 2018–2019. References
Richton Park Public Library District

The Richton Park Library District was founded in 1972 when village trustees rented a storefront at 22365 Governors Highway in Richton Park, Illinois. Volunteers had to engage in extensive cleaning and renovation in order to convert the former coffee-house into a library. They constructed shelves for the books, and furniture was donated. Books were obtained through donations from area residents, the Suburban Library System, and the Illinois State Library. Fundraisers, including bake sales, book sales, and paper drives were held to secure additional funding. Upon opening, the library was staffed entirely with volunteers. In 1974, village residents approved a referendum to establish the Richton Park Public Library District. With rapid growth of the library, village residents and staff realized that the storefront facility was inadequate. In 1979, the community agreed to lease the old village hall to the District to facilitate expansion. The new library opened on March 30, 1981 at 4045 Sauk Trail after an extensive renovation. The next few years saw tremendous growth in the population of Richton Park, and with it an increased demand for library services. In the fall of 1984, a new addition was built, offering more room for books, services, and people. Use of the library continued to grow throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In 1995, voters approved funding to double the size of the library. With a larger building, more services were added, including new computers with Internet access. In the spring of 2012, a referendum was passed to allow the library to build a larger facility to account for population growth. In September 2014, the Richton Park Library opened a new location that is much larger and includes significantly more space for library materials, program areas, and study rooms. This new building is located at 22310 Latonia Late, Richton Park, IL, 60471. External links Website
Riis Park (Chicago)

Riis Park is a park on Chicago's Northwest Side in the Belmont-Cragin neighborhood. The park covers 56 acres in a rectangle bounded by Fullerton Avenue to the south, Narragansett Avenue to the west, Wrightwood Avenue to the north, and Meade Avenue to the east. The park is named after Jacob Riis, the New York City muckraker journalist and photographer who documented the plight of the poor and working class. A stone dedicated in Riis's honor in 1929 by Swedish citizens of Chicago can be found in the southwest corner of the park. History The Northwest Park District acquired the property in 1916, inspired in part by a park-building movement that Riis had helped drive. The park's development took another decade, until 1928 when a ski jump and golf course were installed. Chicago architect Walter W. Ahlschlager designed the fieldhouse. In 1934, Riis Park became a part of the Chicago Park District after the consolidation of 22 park districts around the city. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 and the National Register Information System ID is 95000483. References

Robert A. Millikan House

The Robert A. Millikan House is a historic house at 5605 South Woodlawn Avenue in the Hyde Park community area of Chicago, Illinois. Built about 1907, it was the home of American physicist Robert A. Millikan (1868-1953) from about 1908 until 1921, the period in which he made his most significant Nobel Prize winning work. The three-story brick building earned National Historic Landmark status on May 11, 1976. Description and history The Robert A. Millikan House stands in Chicago's South Side Hyde Park neighborhood, northeast of the University of Chicago campus at the southeast corner of South Woodlawn Avenue and East 56th Street. It is one of a sequence of three adjacent houses designed by the Chicago firm Tallmadge & Watson and built about 1907. It is three stories in height, with a mainly brick exterior. It has a broad profile in the Prairie style, with slightly projecting broad gabled sections near the ends, and a narrower off-center entrance projecting. The full third level, and the second level of the entrance section, are finished in Tudor-style half timbering. Window placement and size are somewhat irregular. The building interior is relatively plain. Robert Millikan, an Illinois native who received the first Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University, moved into this house about 1907. He was at the time serving as a professor and researcher in the University of Chicago physics department. It is there that he organized and performed his famous oil-drop experiment, which provided the most accurate measure of the time of the electrical charge of an electron. He also established an experimental apparatus that was used to confirm the photoelectric effect postulated by Albert Einstein in 1905. For these works, Millikan was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Physics. Millikan was seen then as one of the leaders of growing American dominance in his field. Millikan moved out of this house in 1921, when he took a position at what is now the California Institute of Technology. The house remains a private residence.
