Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge

The Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge is located on the Illinois River in Mason County northeast of Havana, Illinois. It is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as one of the four Illinois River National Wildlife and Fish Refuges. The refuge consists of 4,388 acres (17.76 km2) of Illinois River bottomland, nearly all of it wetland. The parcel is the former Chautauqua Drainage and Levee District, a failed riverine polder. In the 1920s, workers with steam shovels surrounded the levee district with a large dike in an attempt to create a large new parcel of agricultural farmland. The levee district proved to be financially unable to maintain the dike, however, and the Illinois River reclaimed the polder. The complex alluvial topography that had existed before this intervention was replaced by the broad shallow pool of Chautauqua Lake. In 1936, the federal government acquired the 4,388-acre (17.76 km2) Chautauqua Drainage and Levee District parcel, including the dikes that enclosed the pool, and began to manage it for wildlife-refuge and flood control purposes. The flood-control aspects of this management have grown more challenging in the years since, as continued agricultural runoff and siltation of the Illinois River has made much of Chautauqua Lake shallower. On some shoreline strips of the lake, the silt has built up to the level of the lake surface, and an alluvial topography of sloughs and floodplain woodlands may be slowly re-establishing itself. However, many of the plant and animal species inhabiting the current Chautauqua Lake and Wildlife Refuge and adjacent Illinois River are nonnative and invasive species such as the Asian carp. As of 2005, of the 4,388 acres (17.76 km2) of the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge, 3,200 acres (13 km2) were classified as an open pool, 800 acres (3.2 km2) were classified as "water and timbered bottomland", and the remaining 388 acres (1.57 km2) were classified as upland forest. The closest numbered highway is U.S. Highway 136 in Mason County. A nesting pair of bald eagles was observed in the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge in the winter of 2005–06. The Cameron/Billsbach Unit is a detached section of the refuge located further north, in Marshall County, near Henry, Illinois. It covers an additional 1,079 acres (4.37 km2).

Chicago-Read Mental Health Center

Chicago-Read Mental Health Center (CRMHC, often called simply Read) is a state-run inpatient JCAHO-accredited facility, located in the community of Dunning, northwest of Chicago, Illinois. In 1965, as a community alternative to state managed hospital care, the Charles F. Read Zone Center was established in Dunning as a mental health facility. It was located west of Oak Park Avenue. It later merged operations with Chicago State Hospital when it closed in 1970. The new inpatient mental health center was renamed the Chicago-Read Mental Health Center. History Public institutions in Dunning have provided shelter and care for the mentally ill and destitute residents of Chicago since 1854, beginning with the Cook County Poor Farm (1854–1912). The Poor Farm was a large 320-acre complex with a Poorhouse, Insane Asylum, Tuberculosis Hospital and working farm. In 1912, Cook County sold the Dunning Poor Farm to the State of Illinois, who assumed responsibility for the Insane Asylum and renamed it the Chicago State Hospital. A fire at the State Hospital on 26 December 1923 killed fifteen people. Two wings of the hospital were destroyed. Press reports described the building as a "death house" even before the fire. In 1963, after the Community Mental Health Act was passed in the United States to provide federal funding for community mental health centers, Illinois built six "zone centers" providing community mental health treatment. The Charles F. Read Zone Center was established as a community alternative to state managed hospital care. Established in 1965, and located west of Oak Park Avenue, the Charles. F. Read Zone Center took over the operations of the Chicago State Hospital when it closed in 1970. The new facility was renamed the Chicago-Read Mental Health Center. Investigations In 1988, the director of the facility was dismissed under what were described as deplorable conditions for patients; in 1992, it was under investigation for civil rights violations and in 1993, Read lost its accreditation altogether.

Chicago Bee Building

The Chicago Bee Building is a historic building on Chicago's South Side. It originally housed the Chicago Bee, a newspaper serving the African Americans of Chicago. The building now houses the Chicago Bee Branch of the Chicago Public Library. The building was named a Chicago Landmark on September 9, 1998. It is located in the Black Metropolis-Bronzeville District in the Douglas community area of Chicago, Illinois. The Chicago Bee was founded by the African American entrepreneur Anthony Overton in 1926. This building was Overton's affirmation of his confidence in the viability of the State Street Commercial district. This three-story building was one of the most picturesque in the district, and the one designed in the Art Deco style of the 1920s. All of Overton's enterprises shared this building until the early 1940s when the newspaper went out of business. The cosmetics firm continued to occupy the building until the early 1980s. The City of Chicago purchased the building and it is now a Chicago Public Library. It originally had upper-floor apartments. It also housed the offices of the Douglass National Bank and the Overton Hygienic Company, during the 1930s. The Overton Hygienic Company was nationally known as a cosmetics firm. Overton Hygienic went out of business in the early 1980s. In the mid-1990s, the building was reused as a branch of the Chicago Public Library. It is one of nine structures in the Black Metropolis-Bronzeville Historic District. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1986.

Чикаго-Би-билдинг

Чикаго-Би-билдинг (англ. Chicago Bee Building) — историческое здание в южной части города Чикаго (штат Иллинойс). Первоначально в нём размещалась редакция газеты Chicago Bee, ориентированной на негров Чикаго. Ныне же в его стенах располагается филиал Чикагской публичной библиотеки. 9 сентября 1998 года Чикаго-Би-билдинг получил статус достопримечательности Чикаго. Здание находится на территории чикагского района Дуглас. Газета Chicago Bee была основана негритянским предпринимателем Энтони Овертоном в 1926 году. Построенное для неё здание служило подтверждением уверенности Овертона в жизнеспособности коммерческого района на Стейт-стрит. Это трёхэтажное здание, возведённое в стиле ар-деко 1920-х годов, было одним из самых живописных в этом районе. Первоначально на верхних этажах Чикаго-Би-билдинга существовали квартиры. Штаб-квартиры всех компаний Овертона размещались в этом здании до начала 1940-х годов, когда газета Chicago Bee прекратила свое существование. Так в 1930-х годах здесь среди прочих находились офисы Национального банка Дугласа и Overton Hygienic Company. До начала 1980-х годов в нём работала косметическая фирма Overton Hygienic Company, получившая известность и на национальном уровне. Городские власти Чикаго выкупили здание, в итоге разместив в нём филиал Публичной библиотеки Чикаго. Чикаго-Би-билдинг входит в число девяти крупных построек в историческом районе Блэк-Метрополис-Бронзвилль. 30 апреля 1986 года здание было включено в Национальный реестр исторических мест США.

Chicago Building

Das Chicago Building (auch: Chicago Savings Bank Building, 7 West Madison Street) ist ein im frühen zwanzigsten Jahrhundert errichtetes, fünfzehngeschossiges Hochhaus in der Innenstadt von Chicago im US-Bundesstaat Illinois. Das Gebäude ist direkt an der südwestlichen Ecke der Kreuzung State Street und Madison Street gelegen, die lange als the World's busiest corner (dt. etwa „die geschäftigste Ecke der Welt“) galt. Ein Eckstein im zweiten Obergeschoss des Gebäudes stellt den Nullpunkt für die Nummerierung der Adressen Chicagos dar (d. h. die Hausnummern steigen von diesem Punkt ausgehend in alle vier Himmelsrichtungen; zudem werden alle städtischen Straßen bezogen auf diesen Punkt in ihre Ost- und Westseite bzw. Nord- und Südseite unterteilt). Das Gebäude ist seit 1975 im National Register of Historic Places verzeichnet. Geschichte Nach der Fertigstellung des Gebäudes im Jahr 1905 bezog die Chicago Savings Bank, die während der Bauzeit vorübergehend im Merchant's Loan & Trust Building an der Kreuzung Adams Street und Clark Street (1931 abgerissen) untergekommen war, die unteren Etagen des Gebäudes, während der Großteil der oberen Geschosse vornehmlich Arztpraxen beherbergte. Als die Bank ihre Räumlichkeiten im Jahr 1913 verließ, hatten sich ein Dutzend Zahnärzte und dreißig Ärzte im Gebäude niedergelassen. In der Folgezeit gehörten zudem Architekten zu den Mietern, darunter Lebenbaum & Marx; sowie mehrere Juweliere. In den Fünfzigerjahren zog der Verkaufsautomatenhersteller Lunch Box, Inc. ein; später übernahm das Chicago Board of Education das Gebäude. Die Chicago Landmarks Commission erteilte im Jahr 1996 den Landmark-Status (dt. etwa Wahrzeichen) für das Gebäude, nachdem dieser im Jahr 1987 noch abgelehnt worden war. Seit 1997 beherbergt das Chicago Building ein Wohnheim der School of the Art Institute, einer Kunsthochschule. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Filiale des Bekleidungs-Einzelhändlers Zumiez. Architektur Durch Holabird & Roche grundsätzlich im Stil der Neorenaissance in Stahlskelettbauweise errichtet, weist das auch typische Merkmale der Chicagoer Schule auf. Hierzu zählen die an der Ost-, Nord- und Westfassade verbauten, typischen Chicago Windows, vertikal dreigeteilte Fenster mit einem großen, mittigen, festverglasten Element und je einem kleineren Schiebefenster links und rechts; sowie die sich über zwölf Etagen erstreckenden ausgekragten Erker an der Nordfassade. Die Fassade ist mit dunklen, rotbraunen Terracotta-Ziegeln verkleidet. Weblinks Einzelnachweise
Chicago Building

The Chicago Building or Chicago Savings Bank Building is an early skyscraper, built in 1904–1905. It is located at 7 West Madison Street in Chicago. Designed by the architecture firm Holabird & Roche, it is an early and highly visible example of the Chicago school of architecture. The building's features characterize this style through the use of large "Chicago windows", metal frame construction, distinctive bays, and terra cotta cladding. The combination of the north side projecting bay windows, and the east side rectangular "Chicago windows" with movable sashes is representative of the two typical Chicago school window types. The building is prominently located on the southwest corner of State Street and Madison Street, with visibility increased by an offset in the alignment of State Street. The building is a critical component of a grouping of significant structures, including Carson Pirie Scott and the former Mandel Brothers Store, at what was once labeled the "World's Busiest Corner". The building was designated a Chicago landmark on March 26, 1996. In 1997, it was converted to a dormitory for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The corner of the 3rd floor of the Chicago Building contains the cornerstone of Chicago. It is the 0-0 degree point of the city, and is the location from which all addresses in Chicago begin. Notes

Чикагский клуб

Чикагский клуб (англ. The Chicago Club) ― джентльменский клуб в Чикаго, расположенный на Мичиган-авеню. Здание клуба является объектом Национального реестра исторических мест США. История Предыстория В середине 1860-х годов в Чикаго образовалась группа, получившая название «Клуб Дирборн» по названию улицы, где располагалось место встречи. Члены клуба собирались вместе в послеобеденное время, чтобы выпить и поиграть в карты. Клуб Дирборн был закрыт по решению шерифа округа Кук в 1868 году. В январе 1869 года бывшие члены клуба Дирборн организовали встречу, за которой последовала вторая, на которой была принята резолюция о создании нового клуба для 100 жителей Чикаго. За 100 долларов каждый желающий мог вступить в Чикагский клуб. Его членами стали американские предприниматели и промышленники, покрывшие первые расходы клуба. Клуб арендовал бывший особняк Генри Фарнама на углу Мичиган-авеню между Джексон-стрит и Адамс-стрит. Первое заседание Чикагского клуба состоялось 1 мая 1869 года. Новая штаб-квартира клуба Первое здание клуба было уничтожено во время Великого чикагского пожара в 1871 году. После этого Чикагский клуб сменил несколько зданий, пока его штаб-квартирой не стало здание по проекту фирмы Burnham & Root, первоначально построенное для Чикагского института искусств и приобретённое клубом в 1893 году. Это здание оставалось главным местом сбора членов клуба до конца 1920-х годов, когда оно обвалилось во время реконструкции. Для его замены архитекторы Грейнджер и Болленбахер спроектировали новое здание в неороманском стиле, строительство которого было завершено в 1929 году. Здание клуба было включено в Национальный реестр исторических мест США 28 февраля 2005 года под номером 05000109, и оно до сих пор остаётся штаб-квартирой клуба. Архитектура Восьмиэтажное гранитное здание клуба в неороманском стиле было спроектировано архитекторами Грейнджером и Болленбахером. Во время строительства уцелевший трёхарочный вход от фирмы Burnham & Root был перенесён за угол с Мичиган-авеню на Ван-Бюрен-стрит. Он сохранил свою функцию главного входа в здание. Известные члены Маршалл Филд ― американский предприниматель и благотворитель. Джордж Пульман ― американский изобретатель и промышленник, создатель компании «Пульман». Натаниэль Фэрбанк ― американский промышленник. Джон Крерар ― американский промышленник и бизнесмен. Роберт Линкольн ― американский юрист и военный министр, старший сын президента Авраама Линкольна. Интересный факт Устав клуба запрещает вход в здание журналистам и другим работникам прессы. Единственное исключение из этого правила было сделано в 1982 году, когда редактор Chicago Tribune смог получить ограниченный доступ в клуб. Примечания Литература Blair, Edward T.
