Dale Gardner Veterans Memorial Bridge

The Dale Gardner Veterans Memorial Bridge, often referred to as the New Savanna-Sabula Bridge, or by the same name as its predecessor, the Savanna-Sabula Bridge, is a steel tied-arch that carries U.S. Route 52 (US 52) across the Mississippi River. It connects the city of Savanna, Illinois, with the island city of Sabula, Iowa. Construction on the span began in 2016 and it opened on November 17, 2017. It was erected by Bumpy's Steel Erection of East St. Louis, Illinois and Edward Kraemer & Sons of Plain, Wisconsin. The bridge replaced the Savanna–Sabula Bridge, which was located a few yards to the north. The Dale Gardner Veterans Memorial Bridge was closed on February 27, 2018 while an adjoining causeway was replaced. The Running Slough Bridge had sunk between 1 foot (30 cm) and 5 feet (1.5 m) causing a visible change to the structure. The causeway bridge was deemed unsafe until the replacement was complete. The closure necessitated a 36-mile (58 km) detour to Clinton, Iowa/Fulton, Illinois. A complimentary ferry service between Savanna and Sabula began operations on June 12. The bridge was re-opened on August 31, 2018. References See also List of crossings of the Upper Mississippi River
Peck and Hills Furniture Company Warehouse

The Peck and Hills Furniture Company Warehouse is a historic warehouse located at 909 West Bliss Street on Goose Island in Chicago, Illinois. Built in 1901, the warehouse was the main storage and distribution facility for the Peck and Hills Furniture Company. Founded in 1896, the company became the largest furniture distributor in the country by the end of the 1920s. The company's warehouse facilities, which were expanded significantly during its growth, were integral to its ability to expand into new markets. The warehouse also connected to the city's railway network, allowing the company to easily ship its goods across the country. Peck and Hills declined significantly during the Great Depression, and it sold its Chicago warehouse facilities in 1942. The warehouse is now one of the few remnants of Goose Island's industrial history. The warehouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 18, 2015. on April 15th 1929 Peck and Hills opened a manufacturing plant at what is now 1000 Denny Way in Seattle.

Loop Synagogue

The Chicago Loop Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish synagogue, located at 16 South Clark Street, in the Loop precinct of Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. Completed in 1958, the synagogue is renowned for a stained glass artwork by Abraham Rattner. The synagogue was founded in 1929 by the United Synagogue of America to serve the needs of Jewish professionals working in Chicago’s downtown business district, providing kosher food and a place to pray during the workday. Following the COVID-19 global pandemic, there were concerns that, due to the exodus of workers from the city center, the synagogue would be unable to sustain its future operating costs. Architecture and design The building was designed by architects Loebl, Schlossman & Bennett, who also designed the Richard J. Daley Center. Completed in 1958, the synagogue building replaced a synagogue on the same block that had been lost to fire. A sculpture Hands of Peace by Nehemia Azaz is situated over the entrance doors. The work depicts "priestly hands raised in benediction" (the Priestly Blessing). Let There Be Light Abraham Rattner's 30 ft × 40 ft (9.1 m × 12.2 m) Let There Be Light occupies the entire eastern wall of the second-floor sanctuary. It stands in juxtaposition to the "reserved minimalism" of the rest of the interior. The art depicts images from Genesis 1:3 and Jewish religious symbols including a menorah, a shofar and an etrog. Additional influences include kabbalistic symbolism of "the force and the spirit of the ineffable and unknowable power". It was described as "[p]erhaps the most beautiful synagogue interior in the United States". Another critic said the glass "bathes the sanctuary in a shower of color, artistically consecrating the space as a place apart from the grey concrete scene on the other side of the glass".

William G. Stratton Building

The William G. Stratton Building, known more commonly on a local level as the Stratton Building, is an eight-story office building located on the grounds of the Illinois State Capitol in downtown Springfield, Illinois. History Completed in 1956, the building is named after former Illinois politician William G. "Billy" Stratton, who served as the 32nd governor of Illinois from 1953 until 1961. The Stratton Building currently houses legislative offices of the Illinois House of Representatives and Illinois Senate, as well as other State of Illinois agency offices. The building has been targeted for closure in the past, with former Governor Jim Edgar criticizing the building's architecture and a former state representative, now the Illinois Department of Natural Resources assistant director, Rich Brauer, calling the Stratton Building, "way beyond its time", and championing the construction of a new office building on the Capitol grounds. In May 2004, the Illinois House voted, 94–18, to close the Stratton Building, but the bill was not called for a vote in the Illinois Senate. The building is also often the subject of articles in the Springfield State Journal-Register about its lights being on nearly around the clock, despite the absence of employees working in the building. As recently as January 2017, representatives of the state have pointed out that the building's age and lack of wiring upgrades since it was constructed would be cost prohibitive on the state's budget to repair.

Gaelic Park

Gaelic Park ( em irlandês: Páirc na nGael ) é um estádio multiuso, localizado na West 240th Street e Broadway em Riverdale, Bronx, na cidade de Nova York, no estado americano de Nova York . Desde 1926, o terreno tem sido usado como palco para jogos gaélicos em Nova York e, desde sua compra pelo Manhattan College em 1991, tem sediado vários eventos esportivos universitários americanos. Localizado a oeste da Broadway e ao sul e oeste do Van Cortlandt Park, na parte norte do Bronx, ao sul da fronteira da cidade com o condado de Westchester, o Gaelic Park foi comprado em 1926 pela Gaelic Athletic Association of Greater New York. Recebeu alguns nomes diferentes ao longo do tempo, incluindo Innisfail Park, mas desde os anos 1950 passou a usar seu nome atual, Gaelic Park, um reflexo do sabor decididamente irlandês do parque. O parque inclui campo de jogos e salão de dança. Além de jogos de hurling e futebol, vários outros eventos esportivos acontecem no Gaelic Park. Há também concertos e danças que apresentam música irlandesa antiga e nova. O estádio também é sede do Manhattan Soccer Club, da USL League Two. História Gaelic Park foi comprado pela Gaelic Athletic Association of Greater New York (GAA) em 1926. Começou como um campo muito áspero que serviu de centro social para muitos imigrantes irlandeses no Bronx . Com a ausência de centros de cinema e outros complexos de entretenimento, arremessar no parque era a principal diversão. O GAA administrou o parque por cerca de 10 anos, até que ele foi forçado à falência, após o que a cidade assumiu o controle do terreno. A propriedade foi então alugada novamente em 1941 para John "Kerry" O'Donnell, que com a ajuda de sua família e amigos administrava o parque, salão de dança e taverna. Por vários anos, foi chamado de "Croke Park", em homenagem ao estádio principal do GAA em Dublin. O parque foi assumido pelo Manhattan College em 1991. A faculdade manteve as tradições do Gaelic Park, além de fazer algumas reformas significativas, e agora também a usa para jogos caseiros de lacrosse, rúgbi, futebol e softball. No início de 2007, uma renovação de $ 3 milhões do Gaelic Park começou. O estádio possui grama sintética, o que o tornou mais durável para os esportes americanos e gaélicos. Além disso, as instalações para o softball foram melhoradas e a instalação da iluminação do estádio possibilitou os jogos noturnos. Em abril de 2019, o salão de banquetes do Gaelic Park foi demolido e substituído com o apoio do GAA, do Departamento de Relações Exteriores da Irlanda e de outras doações e patrocinadores.

Galena Hotel

The Galena Hotel, originally known as the Fox River House, is a historic hotel in Aurora, Illinois. It is the oldest hotel still standing in the city. History By the 1850s, Aurora was a major manufacturing and milling center in the Fox River valley. The Galena–Chicago trail, which carried stagecoaches from Chicago to northwestern Illinois, passed through town and provided a means of commerce. The first Fox River House was constructed in 1857 along this road for A. N. and G. Pierce. A fire destroyed the hotel in 1860. E. D. Huntoon purchased the vacant lot two years later to rebuild the hotel. The hotel was known as an important local gathering place. Huntoon ran the hotel for twenty-six years until selling it. The new owner renamed the hotel the Northwestern Hotel in 1888. It was renamed to the Grand Hotel when sold to a Mrs. Jones in 1907. The Koummoutseas family purchased the hotel in 1961 and again renamed it the Galena Hotel. It is the oldest hotel still standing in Aurora. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 4, 1976. The structure is four stories tall plus a basement. The brick and limestone were locally fired and mined. Only the fourth floor remains consistent with the original design for the hotel, but little change has occurred on the exterior of the building. This hotel was purchased by Nawab Khurram Khan and Dr. Shuja ul-Mulk in 1997 from Besey Koummoutseas. References
