It is located near the town of Antioch, Illinois, near the intersection of Route 83 and Grass Lake Rd. It is home to many different species of fish, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Some of which are endangered species, including the blacknose shiner. Hydrography West Loon Lake is a glacial lake that has a maximum depth of 38 to 44 feet (12 to 13 m). It has an area of 166 acres (0.7 km2) and more than 2.1 miles (3.4 km) of shoreline. It is an extremely clear lake, transparency of the lake is 15 to 18 feet (4.6 to 5.5 m) depending on the time of year. Water clarity, as of 2008, has been at the highest level in 15 years. 26 to 28 feet (7.9 to 8.5 m). It is slightly larger than West Loon Lake with an area of 168 acres (0.7 km2) and more than 4.8 miles (7.7 km) of shoreline. East Loon has a different ecological makeup; compared to West Loon, it is more of a nature lake then a recreational lake.

Invasive and non-native species have been found in Loon Lake. In August 2005 a Caiman was found in East Loon Lake. Zebra Mussel have been introduced into West and East Loon Lakes; it is not known how exactly they were introduced to the lakes, but it is suspected to come from either Lake Michigan or Geneva Lake in Wisconsin. Although there are no immediate threats to Loon Lake, development in the area has increased the amount of pollution in the lake. Walmart during the construction of its store located in Antioch has been fined for polluting East Loon Lake.

Lorado Taft Midway Studios

The Lorado Taft Midway Studios are a historic artist studio complex at South Ingleside Avenue and East 60th Street, on the campus of the University of Chicago on the South Side of Chicago. The architecturally haphazard structure, originating as two converted barns and a Victorian house, was used from 1906 to 1929 as the studio of Lorado Taft (1860-1936), one of the most influential sculptors of the period. A National Historic Landmark, it now houses the university's visual arts department. Description and history The Lorado Taft Midway Studio is a conglomeration of structures standing on the south side of the University of Chicago campus, on the west side of South Ingleside Avenue at East 60th Street. The northern end of the structure is a two-story Victorian house, from which a series of single-story sections extend southward, joining the house to adjacent two-story barn structures, one with a gabled roof and the other with a hip roof. Historically, these elements framed a courtyard that was open to the west, except for a fringing hedge and fence; this has since been filled by additional studio space. The interior is as rambling as the exterior, much of it composed of a warren of smaller studio spaces. Lorado Taft was educated at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, receiving both a bachelor's (1879) and master's degree (1880) in art. In the 1880s he continued his studies in Paris, and returned to Chicago in 1885, joining the faculty of the Chicago Art Institute in 1886. In 1906, Taft moved his main studio from the Chicago Loop to a brick barn near the Midway Plaisance. Later, he connected a pair of frame barns to the main building to serve as male and female dormitories. The structure was redesigned by the architectural firm of Pond and Pond to contain 13 studios for Taft and affiliated sculptors. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark on December 21, 1965, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. It is one of the four Chicago Registered Historic Places from the original October 15, 1966 National Register of Historic Places list (along with Chicago Pile-1, Hull House, and Robie House). On December 1, 1993, it was named a Chicago Landmark. Today, the building is home to the university's Department of Visual Arts and Creative Writing program, and has been renovated to be classrooms, offices, and studios for students and faculty.

Louise White School

The Louise White School is a Registered Historic Place in Batavia, Illinois. It was in active use as a school for 85 years, and served as home of the Chautauqua movement in north central Illinois. History The Louise White School was one of the main schools in the settlement of Batavia from its construction in 1893 through the 1970s. It was built to replace a wood-frame school that was built in 1856 but destroyed in an 1893 fire. The school was the regional home of the Chatauqua movement. Like most Chatauqua establishments, the school hosted many notable traveling lecturers. The building is considered a good example of Romanesque Revival architecture and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1980. The school building currently houses TSN International, a travel vacation club which has been the primary tenant since 1992. The two-story limestone building is rectangular and situated on a hill east of the Fox River. Each story had four classrooms. The main entrance to the building faces the west and feature a limestone arch typical of the architectural style. The building also features an attic with a 20 foot (6.1 m) high ceiling beneath a 45 degree hip roof. The 8 foot (2.4 m) windows are an early example of insulated glazing. A two-story yellow brick extension was added in 1927, connected to the main building though a limestone passage. Notes

Knox College (États-Unis)

Knox College est une université privée américaine spécialisée dans les arts libéraux et située à Galesburg, dans l'Illinois. Historique Knox College est un lycée agricole fondé par des pasteurs presbytériens de l'Etat de New York. L'un d'eux, le pasteur abolitionniste George Washington Gale, qui avait précédemment fondé l'Institut Oneida, émit en 1836 une lettre circulaire appelant à la fondation d'un lycée d'artisanat (Manual labor college), grâce à des souscriptions privées et l'achat de parcelles. En 1837, un premier groupe de souscripteurs établis à Galesburg commencèrent la construction d'un premier bâtiment. Le premier président, Hiram Huntington Kellogg, partit pour l'Angleterre pour acheter les manuels scolaires, qui font maintenant partie de la bibliothèque universitaire. L'école accueillit ses premiers élèves en 1843 : c'était l'une des premières écoles américaines à accueillir des femmes et des noirs.

Lyman Trumbull House

Lyman Trumbull House is a house significant for its association with former U.S. Senator from Illinois Lyman Trumbull. The house is located in the historic Middletown neighborhood in Alton, Illinois. Senator Trumbull was best known for being a co-author of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The house was built around 1849, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975. Senator Trumbull lived in this house from 1849 to 1863, according to the documentation provided in the National Historic Landmark application. The house is a 1+1⁄2-story red brick, gable-roofed residence with limestone foundation. It was originally rectangular-shaped, but late in the 19th century an addition was built on the rear of the house, transforming it into an L-shaped residence. There are three gabled dormers protruding from the front roof, one on the rear of the original house, and one on the northern elevation of the roof on the addition. Adorning the front of the house is a centrally located one-bay entrance porch supported by two fluted pilasters, all made of wood. Turned balusters flank the porch and the several wooden steps that lead to a brick walkway surrounding the dwelling. An entrance to the basement is located underneath the porch. The chief front entrance to the Trumbull House is a single door with side lights and semi-elliptical fanlight. On the south side of the house is a second basement entrance, and it is sheltered by a pedimented portico supported by two Doric columns.

Мост „Макартър“

Мост „Макартър“ (на английски: MacArthur Bridge) е фермов мост, прекосяващ реката Мисисипи при Сейнт Луис. Той свързва щатите Илинойс и Мисури. Строежът му започва през 1909, но поради проблеми с финансирането е открит през 1917. Най-големият отвор е 206 м., а цялата дължина е 5566 м. Мостът има два етажа, но от 1981 г. горният етаж е затворен за автомобили и само долният етаж служи за преминаване на влакове. Мостът е наименуван в чест на американския генерал Дъглас Макартър.
Mackinaw River State Fish and Wildlife Area

The Mackinaw River State Fish and Wildlife Area is a 1,448-acre (586 ha) state park in Tazewell County, Illinois. It is operated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). The Area dates to 1970, when a conservation group based in Bloomington, the Parklands Foundation, donated its acreage to the state. The Mackinaw River SFWA consists of more than two square miles of upslope on the south bank of the Mackinaw River, primarily wooded land with some upland meadows. There are also two sections of Mackinaw River bottomland that offer direct access to the river; each section is approximately 1⁄4-mile (400 m) wide. The Mackinaw River SWFA is primarily managed for the hunting of whitetail deer, although fishing and canoeing are also welcomed. The Mackinaw River is a free-running river throughout most of its length, and therefore offers potential for the preservation of fish and shellfish species (particularly mussels) historically associated with the tallgrass prairie. However, most of the river's drainage is heavily utilized for crop farming, with its potential for erosion and consequent siltation. Sixty-six percent of the river's drainage is cropland. The Mackinaw River State Fish and Wildlife Area is an island of natural drainage into the vulnerable river, although it takes up less than 1.2% of the river's total watershed. The nearest town to the Mackinaw River SFWA is Mackinaw, Illinois. External links "Mackinaw River State Fish and Wildlife Area". Illinois Department of Natural Resources. Retrieved July 18, 2018.
