Union Park

L'Union Park est un parc municipal de la ville de Chicago, dans l'État de l'Illinois. D'une superficie de 54 500 m2, le parc est situé dans le secteur de Near West Side, à l'ouest du secteur financier du Loop. Union Park est ouvert toute l'année, tous les jours entre 6 h et 23 h. Présentation Situé directement à l'ouest de Downtown Chicago, le parc est au sud des stations de métro Ashland et Lake sur les lignes verte et rose du métro de Chicago, longé par la North Ashland Avenue à l'ouest, la West Lake Street au nord du parc, la North Ogden Avenue traverse le parc, et le West Washington Boulevard qui se situe au sud du jardin. L'Union Park possède plusieurs grands terrains de pelouse utilisés pour des manifestations de football américain, ainsi que des aires de jeux, une piscine, un court de tennis, des terrains de baseball et de basket-ball. Histoire Le nom du jardin a été choisi en 1853 en référence avec l'histoire de la ville en lien avec le mouvement des travaillistes, groupement politique important de la ville. Le voisinage proche au jardin regroupe les différents bureaux travaillistes de la ville, comme le "United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers of America", les "Teamsters", l'"LIUNA", le "Workers United Hall", et plus d'une douzaine d'autres regroupements travaillistes. Dans les années 1910, l'Union Park était un des seuls jardins ouverts à toutes les communautés, noire et blanche. En 2006, l'Union Park était le point de départ pour les manifestations concernant les réformes liées à l'immigration, comme le Grand Boycott américain le jour du International Workers Day, qui fut le plus grand rassemblement dans l'histoire de la ville de Chicago. Il s'agit également du lieu où se déroule le Pitchfork Music Festival, le North Coast Music Festival, et différents festivals de musiques et régulièrement des manifestations politiques. En 2006, la ville de Chicago a commandé une statue de James Connolly, un irlandais républicain et marxiste qui a été exécuté en 1916.

Union Park Congregational Church and Carpenter Chapel

Union Park Congregational Church and Carpenter Chapel (also known as First Baptist Congregational Church) is a historic church building at 60 N. Ashland Blvd. on the Near West Side of Chicago, Illinois. The chapel is named after Philo Carpenter, a deacon, a co-founder of the congregation and of the Chicago Theological Seminary, and an early donor of the original church who was also a noted abolitionist and the city's first druggist. The two buildings are considered as a unit; together, they are a Chicago Landmark and an Illinois Historic Landmark and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The church building is currently occupied by the First Baptist Congregational Church, whose official mailing address is 1613 W. Washington Blvd. in Chicago. The Gothic Revival chapel was designed by architect Otis Wheelock, partner of W. W. Boyington in the firm of Boyington & Wheelock, for the Chicago Theological Seminary, which was located on the same campus; the chapel was completed the same year that construction began on the church. The church, also in Gothic Revival, was designed by architect Gurdon P. Randall and was constructed between 1869 and 1871; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

Union Stock Yard Gate

The Union Stock Yard Gate, located on Exchange Avenue at Peoria Street, was the entrance to the famous Union Stock Yards in Chicago. The gate was designed by Burnham and Root around 1875, and is the only significant structural element of the stock yards to survive. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981. The plaza surrounding the gate also includes the city's principal memorial to its firefighters. Description The Union Stock Yard Gate is located on Chicago's South Side, on a plaza in the center of Exchange Avenue at its junction with Peoria Street. This position marked the principal eastern entrance to the stock yards, which occupied several hundred acres to the west. It is a limestone construction with a central main arch flanked by two smaller arches. The main arch is 16 feet (4.9 m) wide and 17 feet (5.2 m) high, with the surmounting truncated hip roof giving the structure a total height of 32 feet (9.8 m). The piers of the central arch are topped by conical limestone turrets. The smaller side arches are asymmetrical (one is 6 feet (1.8 m) wide, the other 7.5 feet (2.3 m)), but are similarly styled on a smaller scale. One of the side arches retains an iron grillwork gate, of a style that both would have originally had. The main gate at one time had an iron portcullis. History The Union Stock Yard was established in 1865, as a place to centralize the city's growing meatpacking industry. Its early facilities were constructed out of wood, with some elements later rebuilt in stone. This gate was designed by Daniel Burnham and John W. Root, who were responsible for the design of other structures in the yards, and constructed in 1879. The gate and an accompanying gatehouse (since demolished), were the only substantial buildings to survive a fire that leveled the yards in 1934. Restored in the 1970s, the limestone gate now stands as one of the few reminders of Chicago's past dominance in the meat packing industry. Over the center arch of the gate is a bust of Sherman, stockyard superintendent John D. Sherman's favorite bull. The gate was designated an official Chicago Landmark on February 24, 1972; a plaque from the Commission on Chicago Landmarks is just east of the gate. The gate was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 27, 1972, and it was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 29, 1981. Just west of the gate is a memorial statue depicting the efforts of firefighters during the Chicago Union Stock Yards Fire of 1910, which was the deadliest building collapse in American history until the 9/11 attacks in 2001. The names of the 21 men who died are in the front of the base; listed on the other sides are the names of all Chicago firefighters who have died in the line of duty. A plaque titled "The Fallen 21," telling the story of that fire, can be found affixed to the gate itself.

United Methodist Church of Batavia

The United Methodist Church of Batavia is a historical church in Batavia, Illinois. Funds for the church were donated by Rev. E. H. Gammon and Cpt. Don Carlos Newton in 1887 to replace the First Methodist Church of Batavia. It was designed by famed local architect Solon Spencer Beman in the Romanesque Revival style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. History The First Methodist Church of Batavia served the Methodist congregation in Batavia, Illinois from 1852 to 1887. The first minister of that church, Rev. E. H. Gammon, later entered the agricultural machinery business and became wealthy. He and industrialist Cpt. Don Carlos Newton donated a large sum of money to erect a new Methodist church in Batavia. Newton had recently visited southern France and was intrigued by the local French Romanesque Revival style. He recommended this style to prominent local architect Solon Spencer Beman, who was commissioned to design the building. The exterior of the building was primarily constructed with local boulders, mostly from I. S. Stephens' Mill Creek Farm—Stephens also worked as the building's contractor. Limestone details were carefully crafted to provide contrast to the more erratic pattern of the boulders. The church is 106 by 60 feet (32 by 18 m) with a square nave featuring a barrel vault ceiling. The nave has thirteen rows of red oak pews in three segments. The tower rises 52 feet (16 m) from the ground with a pyramidal roof. Palladian archways on the north and south ends of the tower flank the bells. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 28, 1983. A three-story addition was built to the east in 1991. Services are still held in the church. References
University Hall (Northwestern University)

University Hall is the oldest original building on the Northwestern University campus in Evanston, Illinois, and the second building to have been constructed after Old College, which stood on campus until the 1970s. It is also the 25th oldest building in the state. The building has served a wide range of different roles since its construction, and currently houses the university's English department. History University Hall was designed in Victorian Gothic style by Gurdon P. Randall, and is composed of Joliet limestone - the same kind used to build the Chicago Water Tower. The construction materials were transported to the Evanston campus by lake boat and rail. The cornerstone of the building was laid in 1868, and the structure was completed in 1869, at a total cost of $125,000. University Hall officially opened on September 8, 1869 and coincided with the inauguration of University President Erastus Otis Haven. Speakers at the opening ceremony included Illinois Governor John M. Palmer, and the new University President Haven, who called the structure, "the new and elegant University Building". The clock in the tower of University Hall was the gift of the Class of 1879; its movement was built by clockmaker Seth Thomas. In 1966, a new electrified clock replaced the old works, which are now located in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. Upon its completion, University Hall took over most university functions from Old College. University Hall originally contained classrooms housing all Northwestern University classes, the main campus library, a chemical lab, a chapel, two society rooms and a fourth-floor natural history museum. University Hall contained Northwestern's primary library until the construction of Lunt Library (now known as Lunt Hall) in the 1890s. Lunt Library was the first dedicated library building built on the campus of Northwestern University. Though University Hall was succeeded by Fayerweather Hall as the university's main building in 1887, throughout its history, University Hall served a variety of functions. Over the years University Hall has been the home of the central administration, the engineering school, a cafeteria, and faculty offices. University Hall underwent a $5.2 million renovation and was rededicated in 1993. The building is currently home to Northwestern's English department.

University Hall (University of Illinois Chicago)

University Hall is the seat of the University of Illinois Chicago administration. Located at 601 S. Morgan Street, it is 338 feet (103 m) tall, making it the tallest building on Chicago's West Side. An unusual feature of its design is that instead of setbacks, it actually widens in two stages, so that it is twenty feet (6.1 m) wider at the top floor than at its base. History University Hall was designed in the Brutalist style, along with much of the rest of the east campus (formerly "Circle Campus"), by Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The offices of the university chancellor are located on the top floor. The first two floors are occupied by the Port Center Cafe, a popular studying spot for students; the south portion of the 2nd floor can be seen near the end of the 2006 film, Stranger than Fiction. The remainder of the floors are used as offices for the university chancellor, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, certain LAS departments and professors, and the College of Business Administration. University Hall, or UH as it is popularly referred to, can be seen from miles away and is helpful for new students finding their way around campus. Peregrine falcons Since 1998, a pair of peregrine falcons have nested on a 28th floor ledge of University Hall. The female, named Rosie, has lived and nested there regularly hatching eggs annually. Until 2005, she lived with her mate Joshua; however, Joshua was found wounded in 2005 and, while he was treated, Rosie found a new mate. Since then, she has lived with an unbanded male (nicknamed "The Prof"). The falcons have been popular enough to have been featured in the Chicago Tribune and to have their own webcam. References
Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice

The University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice, formerly known as the School of Social Service Administration (SSA) from 1920 to 2021, is the school of social work of the University of Chicago. History The school was founded in 1903 by minister and social work educator Graham Taylor as the Social Science Center for Practical Training in Philanthropic and Social Work. By 1920, through the efforts of founding mothers Edith Abbott, Grace Abbott and Sophonisba Breckinridge, along with other notable trustees such as social worker Jane Addams and philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, the school merged with the University of Chicago as one of its graduate schools. It became known from that point forward as the School of Social Service Administration since 1920. The campus building the school occupies was designed by modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. In 1924, Helen Rankin Jeter received the first PhD from the merged school, with a dissertation about the Chicago Juvenile Court. On January 27, 2021, the university announced that the School of Social Service Administration was renamed the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice, following a US$75 million gift from James Crown and Paula Crown. Rankings and reputation The SSA is ranked third for Best Schools for Social Work by the U.S. News & World Report as of January 2025.
