Buckingham Building

El Buckingham Building (también conocido como Socony-Vacuum Building) es un rascacielos de 27 pisos ubicado en 59-67 E. Van Buren St. en el vecindario Loop de Chicago, Illinois (Estados Unidos). El edificio, que se inauguró en 1930, ha sido históricamente un edificio de oficinas y tiendas de uso mixto.​ Los arquitectos de Chicago Holabird y Root diseñaron el edificio en estilo art déco. Fue agregado al Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos el 10 de agosto de 2000​ Historia Los planes de construcción para el edificio Buckingham comenzaron en 1929. El edificio reemplazó una estructura de 1886 llamada Athenaeum Building, una institución educativa semipública. Como resultado, el nuevo edificio se llamó Nuevo Ateneo durante su planificación inicial, aunque en 1929 se conocía como el Edificio Buckingham. El espacio de oficinas del edificio se abrió a los inquilinos en mayo de 1930; sus agentes de arrendamiento promocionaron el espacio utilizando tanto su proximidad a la Avenida Míchigan como sus múltiples modos de transporte y sus vistas del lago Míchigan y Grant Park. Entre los primeros inquilinos importantes del edificio se encontraban la Vacuum Oil Company, la American Railroad Association y la National Hardwood Lumber Association. El primer piso del edificio se utilizó como espacio comercial, tiendas de vivienda y restaurantes. The Vacuum Oil Company se fusionó con la Standard Oil Company de Nueva York en 1931 para convertirse en Socony-Vacuum Company, y la firma consolidada alquilaba cada vez más espacio en el edificio. En 1940, la empresa cambió el nombre del edificio a Edificio Socony-Vacuum al firmar un contrato de arrendamiento de diez años para su espacio de oficinas. El edificio más tarde se hizo conocido por su dirección postal. Todavía incluye espacios comerciales y de oficinas, aunque ahora solo está parcialmente ocupado.​ Arquitectura Los arquitectos de Chicago Holabird & Root, los sucesores de los pioneros de la escuela de Chicago Holabird y Roche, diseñaron el edificio Buckingham.​ La firma diseñó el edificio en estilo art déco. El edificio tiene una estructura de hormigón y acero, y su exterior está revestido de ladrillo, granito y terracota. La fachada frontal está compuesta por cinco tramos divididos por pilares; los tres tramos centrales están enfrentadas con terracota oscura para agregar énfasis vertical a los pilares más claros. Las enjutas con motivos florales separan las ventanas de cada piso en los tramos centrales. Los tres primeros pisos están revestidos en granito negro y los escaparates están enmarcados por aluminio dentilado. El piso veintidós presenta paneles decorativos de terracota de color chocolate con un diseño floral, mientras que el piso veinticinco tiene decoraciones adicionales de terracota con una clave.​ Referencias Enlaces externos «Buckingham Building» (en inglés).

Champaign City Building

The Champaign City Building serves as a symbol of the city, with its likeness featured on the city logo. Designated a Champaign Landmark on July 18, 2005, the ornate decoration, art deco architecture, and copper roof distinguish the building as one of the most recognizable in downtown Champaign. The main inspiration for the building's art deco design was Los Angeles City Hall. History Land for the original City Hall was donated to the city of Champaign in 1888 by David Bailey, who was a charter founder of the First National Bank of Champaign. It is believed that he donated the land due to the lot's odd shape, and his inability to develop the land. Bailey also insisted that the city must develop a building worth no less than $5,000 within a year of his donation. The city, in turn, built a multi-purpose structure that housed the Police and Fire Departments, an auditorium, a library, and a chamber and meeting room for the City Council. Within almost 40 years, the building was in such poor condition that the City Council voted to demolish the multi-purpose building and in its place the current City Building was constructed from 1935-1937. Current use Currently, the City Building serves as Champaign's City Hall and includes the City Council Chambers and administrative offices.

Dewey House (North Chicago, Illinois)

The Dewey House, also referred to as Building 29, North Chicago VA Medical Center, is a historic building at the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center in North Chicago, Illinois. Designed by David Adler, the Georgian Revival mansion was commissioned by future United States Representative Charles S. Dewey. History Charles S. Dewey, a real estate developer who would later be elected to the United States House of Representatives, commissioned David Adler to design the building in 1913. Dewey came to know Adler as he designed houses for two family friends. It was built down the road from the Naval Station Great Lakes, where Dewey was stationed during World War I. Dewey named the house "Over Yonder" and requested that it be designed in the Georgian Revival style. Completed in 1914, the Dewey family lived in the mansion until 1918. While Dewey was stationed aboard the USS Mississippi, his house was claimed by the government through eminent domain in an effort to expand the naval base. Dewey's wife was forced to evacuate the house by the end of the year. In 1921, the Deweys were awarded a compensation of $192,950 for the acquisition of the land. Later that year, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs was established and, on April 17, 1924, the property was transferred to the agency. When the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center was established, the Dewey House became known as Building 29 on the campus. The hospital split the former Dewey House into ten apartments for personnel. The National Park Service determined that Dewey House was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places on August 8, 1980. The building was listed on the register on May 8, 1985. References
Henry Dubin House

The Henry Dubin House (also known as the Battledeck House) is an architecturally-significant house in Highland Park, Illinois, United States. History Henry Dubin was an architect who studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, graduating in 1915. He then worked for four years under Holabird & Roche. He then left the firm to start his own, Dubin & Eisenberg. In 1922, he designed the Agudas Achim North Shore Synagogue in Chicago, which Preservation Chicago describes as "the last grand Chicago synagogue" and a "magnificent" combination of Romanesque-Revival, Spanish and Art Deco styles. In 1928, Dubin left the United States to study at Bauhaus. He returned to Highland Park, Illinois after a year of study. Dubin designed a house for himself in 1929 and completed it a year later. The house kept him occupied during the first few years of the Great Depression, once commissioned ceased due to the economic times. The house was one of the first International Style buildings in the town. It was nicknamed the "Battledeck House" because the steel plate of the roof and floor resembled the construction of a ship. It was completely fireproof: the exterior was constructed of clinker brick and steel. Dubin chose this design because he anticipated a need for housing the poor following the Wall Street crash of 1929. Dubin was impressed with the ability of Pullman cars to withstand a variety of temperatures, particularly after reading an essay by Sigfried Giedion. He sought an affordable style of house that could be prefabricated and sold throughout the country. The interior featured recessed radiators, built-in furniture, and a simple dado. It was one of the first flat-roofed houses in the Chicago area. On September 29, 1982, the house was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. References
