Parkway Garden Homes

Der Apartmentkomplex Parkway Garden Homes im Süden Chicagos, Illinois, wurde 1950 gegründet und war das erste afroamerikanische Bauprojekt. Durch soziale Vernachlässigung entwickelte sich die Gegend um die Bauten zu einem Hotspot für Gangs und organisierter Kriminalität. Auch als O-Block bekannt, beherbergte das Projekt viele bekannte Personen, darunter Chief Keef, King Von und auch die ehemalige First Lady der USA, Michelle Obama, die hier ihre ersten Lebensjahre verbrachte. Die rivalisierenden Gangs Black Disciples und Gangster Disciples, die beide im und um den Block aktiv sind, führten zu vermehrten Morden und Schießereien. Im November 2011 wurden die Parkway Garden Homes als Historic District („historischer Bezirk“) in das National Register of Historic Places („Nationales Verzeichnis historischer Orte“) eingetragen.

Town House (Springfield, Illinois)

The Town House is a historic apartment building located at 718 S. 7th Street in Springfield, Illinois. The high-rise building is composed of an 11-story section and a 13-story section joined by a 14-story connector. Built in 1958, the International Style building was designed by Chicago architectural firm Shaw, Metz and Dolio. Springfield's Franklin Life Insurance Company underwrote the building; while it was originally intended to serve as employee housing, it quickly became a desirable residence for the general public as well. The building was the first high-rise luxury apartment complex in Springfield and was likely inspired by the earlier Hickox Apartments, a 1920s complex which set standards for luxury apartments in Springfield. It attempted to bring the more urban lifestyle of large Midwestern cities to comparatively smaller Springfield, and early residents boasted of their access to downtown and reduced housework. Shortly after its construction, however, the national trend of dispersed suburban homes made its way to Springfield; as a result, the Town House was the only luxury high-rise apartment ever built in the city. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 2005. References
Rippon-Kinsella House

The Rippon-Kinsella House is a historic house located at 1317 North Third Street in Springfield, Illinois. The house was most likely built in 1871 for businessman John Rippon Jr. Its original design was a simple Italianate plan; the style can still be seen in its bracketed eaves and its long arched windows with round hoods. Rippon sold the house in 1891, and after passing through several other owners it was bought by Richard "Dick" Kinsella in 1899. Kinsella ran a local wallpaper and paint business, worked as a scout for the New York Giants baseball team, and was a prominent Sangamon County Democrat. In 1905, Kinsella remodeled his house to incorporate Classical elements; the house's porch with Doric columns and its high-pitched roof were added at this time. Classical Revival architecture was popular in both new and remodeled houses in Springfield at the time, and the more traditional Italianate houses were well-suited to renovations; the house is one of the best-preserved examples of these hybrid designs. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 27, 1992. References

McCormick Place

McCormick Place in Chicago ist nach Ausstellungsfläche das größte Kongresszentrum in den Vereinigten Staaten. Der Veranstaltungskomplex besteht aus vier, miteinander verbundenen, Gebäudeteilen, die zusammen eine Ausstellungsfläche von 2,6 Millionen Quadratfuß (über 241.000 Quadratmeter) bieten. Zu diesem Komplex gehört auch die Wintrust Arena, die 2017 eröffnet wurde. Das Messegelände beherbergt mehrere große Handels- und Industriemessen jährlich, von denen einige eine überregionale Bedeutung besitzen. Hierzu zählen beispielsweise die Chicago Auto Show, die älteste und eine der größten Automobilausstellungen der USA oder die International Manufacturing Technology Show, die größte Werkzeugmaschinenmesse des Landes. Die Messe, die 1960 eröffnet wurde, wurde nach dem ehemaligen Herausgeber der Chicago Tribune, Robert R. McCormick, benannt, der seinerzeit die Idee eines großen Kongresskomplexes auf den Weg brachte. Wie in anderen geeigneten Einrichtungen überall in den USA wurde im April 2020 auch im McCormick-Place ein Behelfskrankenhaus mit 3000 Betten eingerichtet.

McCormick Place

Le McCormick Place est le plus grand centre de convention des États-Unis et se trouve dans la ville de Chicago (Illinois). Il accueille chaque année environ trois millions de visiteurs, comprenant ainsi plus de 250 000 m2 de hall d'exposition. Le complexe se compose de plusieurs bâtiments parmi lesquels un théâtre de 4 249 places, des restaurants, un hôtel de 800 chambres, etc. Son adresse est le 2301 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60616. Comme dans d'autres établissements appropriés aux États-Unis, un hôpital provisoire de 3 000 lits a été créé à McCormick-Place en avril 2020. Histoire Dès 1927, Robert R. McCormick , membre éminent de la famille McCormick, célèbre pour son McCormick Reaper/ International Harvester, et éditeur du Chicago Tribune, a défendu la construction d'un centre de congrès au bord du lac à Chicago. En 1958, les travaux de construction d'un centre de 35 millions de dollars ont débuté. Il a ouvert ses portes en novembre 1960 et a été baptisé du nom de McCormick, mort en 1955. L'architecte principal était Alfred Shaw, l'un des architectes du Merchandise Mart. Ce bâtiment comprenait le Arie Crown Theater, conçu par Edward Durell Stone. Il pouvait accueillir près de 5 000 personnes et était le deuxième plus grand théâtre (en termes de capacité d'accueil) de Chicago. Le hall d'exposition de 1960 a été détruit dans un incendie majeur le 16 janvier 1967, bien qu'il ait été considéré comme ininflammable en raison de sa construction en acier et en béton. Au moment de l'incendie, le bâtiment contenait des expositions hautement combustibles, plusieurs bouches d'incendie étaient fermées et il n'y avait pas de gicleurs au rez-de-chaussée où l'incendie a commencé. Ainsi, l'incendie s'est propagé rapidement et de manière destructrice, coûtant la vie au gardien de sécurité Kenneth Goodman. Le 27 mars 2020, le Corps des ingénieurs de l'armée américaine a annoncé que le complexe allait commencer à transformer l'espace de congrès en un hôpital de 3 000 lits à la suite de la crise de la COVID-19 qui touche la région de Chicago. Le projet de 15 millions de dollars a été financé par l'agence fédérale de gestion des urgences et devait être achevé le 30 avril. En 2021, il a été proposé de transformer le Lakeside Center en Rivers Casino, dans le cadre des propositions de casino de Chicago.
