Pyramid State Recreation Area

Pyramid State Recreation Area, the largest state recreation area in Illinois, contains 19,701 acres (7,973 ha). It is located within Perry County, and is administered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (Illinois DNR). The nearest large town is Pinckneyville, Illinois. History and current use Pyramid State Recreation Area is almost entirely made up of land that was strip mined for coal. Like much of Southern Illinois, the region lay atop Pennsylvanian deposits of coal. Much of the coal was owned by St. Louis interests, and was shipped to that city for heating and industrial production during the first part of the 1900s. Until the 1960s, it was the custom to write off strip-mined sections of Illinois as worthless. In 1959, the Pyramid Coal Company ceased mining operations, and 924 acres (374 ha) of former coal-mining property soon entered state hands, being owned and used by Southern Illinois University for research into the rehabilitation of strip-mined coal properties. In 1968, a predecessor of Illinois DNR acquired this parcel of land, and continued the rehabilitation process of the parcel as a new natural area, at first named Pyramid State Park. After further land acquisition the new state park contained approximately 3,200 acres (1,300 ha) of open space. In 2001, Illinois DNR acquired 16,245 acres (6,574 ha) of additional reclaimed land from a separate coal company, forming the largest portion of the new Pyramid State Recreation Area. The deposits of coal mine tailings on Pyramid State Recreation Area give the park an undulating appearance, very different from the natural geomorphology of most of Illinois. There are 24 separate lakes and bodies of water. A 10-horsepower boating limit is enforced throughout the park. 16.5 miles (27 km) of trails offer challenges to hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers. There are three primitive campgrounds. The Illinois DNR manages sections of the park for the hunting of deer, upland birds such as doves, pheasants, and wild turkey, and waterfowl. Park hunting rules grant certain enumerated preferences to deer bowhunters. There is extensive fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, and catfish, and limited fishing for smallmouth bass, muskie, northern pike, and walleye. Much of the former strip-mined land has been replanted with trees, with tolerant, early succession trees such as cottonwood, box elder, and sycamore predominating. Illinois DNR planners hope to increase the numbers of oak and hickory trees in the recreation area. Birds The Pyramid State Recreation Area has been listed by the Audubon Society as an Important Bird Area of Illinois, because of the extensive grasslands located within the state park and the parcel's vulnerability to infestation from exotic species. They also note the state park's service as a territory for wetland birds such as the sandhill crane, trumpeter swan, and owls such as the barn owl and the short-eared owl. References

Quarters 1 (Rock Island)

Quarters One (also known as Building 301) is the former residence of the highest-ranking officer at Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island, Illinois on the banks of the Mississippi River. At 51 rooms and 21,965 square feet (2,040.6 m2), Quarters One is the second-largest federal residence in the United States, behind the White House. History Work begun on Quarters One under General Thomas S. Rodman in May 1870 and was completed in 1872 under Major Flagler. The home was built for the purpose of providing quarters for the highest-ranking officer as well as providing space for official gatherings and functions. The building was designed in the Italianate style. The first major gathering held in the residence was in 1871 for the funeral of General Rodman. Over the years, many dignitaries and notable personalities stayed at the residence including Charles Lindbergh in 1927 and King Carl XVI Gustav and Queen Silvia of Sweden in 1996. In 2006, the Army decided to discontinue its use as a residence. The last occupants, Maj. Gen and Mrs. Robert M. Radin, left in 2008. Tours are offered occasionally, and the building is available to rent for weddings, bridal parties, and other social and ceremonial events. In 2011, it was estimated that at least $6 million in work was needed. References External links Official website
Basilika Königin aller Heiligen

Die Basilika Königin aller Heiligen (englisch Queen of All Saints Basilica) ist eine römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche im bürgerlichen Stadtteil Sauganash im Norden von Chicago, Vereinigte Staaten. Die Basilica minor ist eine von drei Basiliken des Erzbistums Chicago. Geschichte Im Jahr 1929 erwirkte der Calvert Club, eine brüderliche katholische Organisation, beim Erzbischof von Chicago, Kardinal George Mundelein die Errichtung einer Pfarrkirche in der Region Sauganash. In der neuen Pfarrei lebten damals vierzig katholische Familien. Dazu wurde eine Holzrahmenkirche, die zuvor als St.-Giles-Kirche im nahe gelegenen Oak Park gedient hatte, versetzt und im Juni 1929 unter dem Patrozinium Königin aller Heiligen geweiht. Die angrenzende Queen of All Saints School wurde 1932 gegründet. Das Gebiet füllte sich nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg mit Wohnsiedlungen und zog zunächst irische und deutsche Einwanderer und deren Nachkommen an. Die ethnische Zusammensetzung des Viertels hat sich seitdem nicht verändert, wobei sich die beiden dominierenden ethnischen Gruppen stark vermischt haben. Von Meyer und Cook wurde ab 1956 die heutige Kirche erbaut. Die Kirche wurde 1960 fertiggestellt und geweiht. Die prächtige, kathedralenartige Kirche wurde am 26. März 1962 von Papst Johannes XXIII. in den Rang einer Basilica minor erhoben. Bauwerk Die Kirche wurde in der Form einer dreischiffigen Basilika im neugotischen Stil errichtet. Ihre Ausmaße haben eine Länge von 73 Metern, eine Breite von 24 Metern und eine Höhe von 24 Metern. Der seitliche Kirchturm ragt 43 Meter hoch. In der Chorempore befinden sich acht verschiedene Marienheiligtümer: Schwarze Madonna von Tschenstochau, Unsere Liebe Frau von Knock, Unsere Liebe Frau von Einsiedeln, Unsere Liebe Frau vom Schnee, Unsere Liebe Frau von La Salette, Unsere Liebe Frau von Guadalupe, Unsere Liebe Frau von Lourdes und Unsere Liebe Frau von Fatima. Diese Ausstellung zeigt die Universalität der katholischen Kirche auf, indem betont wird, dass der Marienkult, obwohl diese Schreine für ein bestimmtes Land oder eine bestimmte Kultur spezifisch sind, all diese Barrieren überbrückt und die verschiedenen in Sauganash lebenden ethnischen Gruppen zusammenbringt. Die ursprüngliche Orgel aus den 1930er Jahren wurde im Jahr 2006 aufgrund ihres schlechten Alterszustandes und eines Aktes des Vandalismus in den 1970er Jahren ersetzt. Das neue Instrument ist ein dreimanualiges Werk von Berghaus Pipe Organ Builders aus Bellwood, Illinois. Literatur Elizabeth Johnson: Chicago Churches: A Photographic Essay.

Quincy station (Amtrak)

Quincy station is an Amtrak intercity train station in Quincy, Illinois, United States. It is served by the two daily round trips of the Illinois Zephyr and Carl Sandburg. History The Quincy and Chicago Railroad opened a line from Quincy to Galesburg, Illinois, on January 31, 1856. It was soon operated as part of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q), forming a line between Quincy and Chicago, and was consolidated with the CB&Q in 1865. The CB&Q, the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, and the Toledo, Wabash and Western Railroad opened a bridge across the Mississippi River between Quincy and West Quincy, Missouri, on November 9, 1868. In 1897–1898, the CB&Q reconstructed the Mississippi River bridge. A second "lower" bridge, south of the main bridge, was added over Quincy Bay on the east side of the river; this formed a loop which allowed through passenger trains to serve Quincy without reversing direction. The next year, the CB&Q opened a new station at Second Street and Oak Street. In September 1945, the CB&Q proposed to close Quincy station; a new "station" with no rails would be built in downtown Quincy, with a bus connection to a waiting room and platform in West Quincy. The move was expected to reduce running times – as well as to reduce the company's taxes by being outside Quincy city limits. Objections from city officials initially led the CB&Q to drop the plan, but it was brought back in early 1946. In November 1952, the CB&Q announced plans to eliminate the time-consuming detour through downtown Quincy, as had been proposed in 1945. Passenger trains would use the main bridge rather than the "lower" bridge; a new station at West Quincy would replace the existing Quincy station. The change was expected to save 20–30 minutes over the old Quincy routing. On February 1, 1953, West Quincy station replaced Quincy as the city's train station. The former station was demolished in 1962. CB&Q service to West Quincy lasted until May 1971; Amtrak service began that November with the Illinois Zephyr. On April 24, 1983, Amtrak opened a station at 24th Street in Quincy because the low-lying West Quincy location was prone to flooding from the Mississippi River. The station was later relocated to 30th Street; a permanent station building opened there on December 12, 1985. It was modeled after early-20th-century streetcar stations. West Quincy station closed on July 10, 1993, during the Great Flood of 1993; it was heavily damaged by the floods and never reopened. The city received $6 million in 2010 to build a new intermodal terminal closer to downtown. In addition to serving as an Amtrak station, it would become the city's Burlington Trailways station and a transfer hub for Quincy Transit Lines. Initial plans favored a site near 2nd Street and Oak Street – the site of the city's 1899–1953 train station.

Aeroporto Regionale di Quincy

Laeroporto Regionale di Quincy (in inglese Quincy Regional Airport) è uno scalo aereo situato nella contea di Adams, nell'Illinois, a circa 20 km ad est della città di Quincy. Incidenti Il 19 novembre 1996, il volo United Express 5925 da Chicago via Burlington, Iowa, si schiantò durante l'atterraggio a Quincy. L'incidente fu causato dal fatto che un Beechcraft King Air, che stava tentando di decollare su una pista intersecante mentre il United Express Beechcraft 1900 atterrava, si è scontrato con l'altro aereo all'incrocio della pista. Tutti e 12 i passeggeri sul B1900 e i due sul King Air sono rimasti uccisi.

Quinn Chapel AME Church (Chicago)

Quinn Chapel AME Church, also known as Quinn Chapel of the A.M.E. Church, houses Chicago's first African-American congregation, formed by seven individuals as a nondenominational prayer group that met in the house of a member in 1844. In 1847, the group organized as a congregation of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the first independent black denomination in the United States. They named the church for Bishop William Paul Quinn. In the years leading up to the Civil War, the church played an important role in the city's abolitionist movement. It was as a stop on the Underground Railroad, serving those escaping slavery from the Southern United States. Then located at the present site of the Monadnock Building in downtown Chicago, the 1871 Great Chicago Fire destroyed the original church. The congregation subsequently met for many years in temporary locations before purchasing the present site in 1890. The current structure, designed by architect Henry F. Starbuck and built in 1892 at 2401 South Wabash Avenue, reflects the area's late 19th-century character. The church was designated as a Chicago Landmark August 3, 1977, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places September 4, 1979. Considered architecturally significant, the church is featured in such books as Chicago Churches: A Photographic Essay by Elizabeth Johnson (Uppercase Books Inc, 1999) as well as Chicago Churches and Synagogues: An Architectural Pilgrimage, by George A. Lane (Loyola Press 1982). In 1992, Quinn Chapel joined with three other nearby churches to found The Renaissance Collaborative Archived August 29, 2013, at the Wayback Machine: a non-profit organization devoted to saving the historic Wabash YMCA and fulfilling the needs of the Bronzeville community.

Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral (Chicago)

The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral is a Greek Orthodox cathedral located in Chicago, Illinois. It is the mother church of the Metropolis of Chicago, and serves as the episcopal seat of the Metropolitan of Chicago. The current membership includes some 400 families. History The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral was established in 1892 by a Greek immigrant community from Laconia and the Greek Islands. In 1909, the Greek Orthodox community paid $18,000 for the lot of city land on which the cathedral stands today. In 1910, the cathedral was complete with a total cost of around $100,000. It was built after an Athenian cathedral and is currently the oldest surviving Chicago building in the style of a Byzantine church. The burden of the Great Depression prompted the Greek Orthodox community to rally together and save the churches from financial ruin through various fundraising activities. Also in this era, the entire building was raised from its foundation and moved back to accommodate for the widening of LaSalle Street.

Благовещенский собор (Чикаго)

Благовещенский собор (англ. Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral) — кафедральный храм Чикагской митрополии Американской архиепископии Константинопольского патриархата в городе Чикаго, в США. История В 1892 году в Чикаго был образован греческий православный приход в честь Благовещения Пресвятой Богородицы, состоящий из греческих иммигрантов, прибывших из Лаконии и островов. Новообразованная община вела переговоры с Элладской православной церковью о назначении священнослужителя. Первым священником стал отец Панагиотис с Итаки. В марте 1892 года он совершил первую литургию. В 1909 году греческой общиной за 18 тысяч американских долларов был приобретён участок земли на котором в 1910 году был построен каменный собор. Общая стоимость строительства составила около 100 тысяч долларов. В период Великой депрессии греческая община предприняла огромные усилия к сохранению собора от финансового кризиса. При расширении улицы LaSalle Street, здание собора было передвинуто на новое место. В настоящее время в реестре собора значатся в составе прихожан около 400 греческих семей. Автор проекта храма, Н. А. Докас, известен и как автор проекта Собора Святой Троицы в Солт-Лейк-Сити. Примечания
R.R. Donnelley and Sons Co. Calumet Plant

The R.R Donnelley Printing Plant, sometimes known as the Calumet Plant or the Lakeside Plant and now known as the Lakeside Technology Center, was built between 1912 and 1929 to house the operations of the RR Donnelley printing company. In 1993, the plant was closed after the discontinuation by Sears, Roebuck and Co. of its mail-order catalog, which had been the last major account printed there. In 1999 the building was retrofitted and is currently owned by Digital Realty Trust operating as a carrier hotel and data center. The newly outfitted building was the first and largest planned carrier hotel in the United States. The building was designed by Howard Van Doren Shaw to be a fireproof design of poured reinforced concrete columns and an open-shell concrete floor. Although considered to be expensive by the standards of that time, T.E. Donnelley agreed that the support would be needed for the many tons of paper they used and large presses they operated. Supported by 4,675 steel-reinforced concrete columns, this type of construction not only served the Donnelley well, it also provided the perfect infrastructure for future tenants. To further the building's support structure, reinforcing bars, normally laid perpendicular, were laid at various angles enabling the floors to bear loads of at least 250 pounds per square foot. Current major tenants of the building include the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Telx, Equinix, Steadfast Networks and CenturyLink. Exterior ornaments depict symbols of printing history. Portions of the building, including the interior Memorial Library, were designed by architect Charles Klauder. See also Lakeside Press Building References
