Corwith Yard

Corwith Yards is a railroad intermodal freight terminal located at Pershing Road (39th Street) & Kedzie Avenue in the southwest side of Chicago, Illinois, in the neighborhood of Brighton Park. At the time it was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1888, it was the world's largest railway yard (nowadays, that title belongs to Bailey Yard, another freight railroad yard owned and operated by BNSF's rival, the Union Pacific Railroad). With adjacent parking and buildings it covers nearly a square mile of land. In the late 19th century Corwith Yards was the end of the line for trains of livestock loaded at AT&SF stations such as Dodge City, Kansas, and bound for the Union Stock Yards, as well as grain and other cargo from the western United States. Now called the Corwith Intermodal Facility, it now handles much more freight than it did in its 19th-century heyday, for the BNSF Railway, mostly in the form of shipping containers. Corwith container cranes load approximately 1900 containers per day. Human Intelligence systems are used to sort & route the containers. References External links Track Plans and Map of Corwith Yards
Crab Orchard Lake

Crab Orchard Lake is a 6,965-acre (28.2 km²) reservoir in Williamson County, Illinois. It is the centerpiece of the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge. It is fed by Devils Kitchen Lake and Little Grassy Lake, which are also within the National Wildlife Refuge. Crab Orchard Lake was created when Crab Orchard Creek, a tributary of the Big Muddy River in southern Illinois, was dammed in the 1930s for purposes of recreation and flood control. The Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge was established August 5, 1947 following the transfer of all land previously held by the Crab Orchard Creek Project and the Illinois Ordnance Plant to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The lake offers opportunities for boating, camping, fishing, and swimming. Two campgrounds, Bluegill Bay Marina & Campground and Crab Orchard Campground, operate on the northern side of the lake. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) has stocked the lake with largemouth bass, and starting in 2006 has also installed artificial spawning beds in the lake's Grassy Bay (the lakebed's eroded clay and soft muck surfaces are not suited to bass spawning). As of 2008, the record largemouth caught in the lake weighed 10.6 pounds. Many users of the lake live in the large nearby communities of Carbondale, Herrin, and Marion. Controversy Crab Orchard Lake is located in an area of Illinois known for high-sulphur coal and former coal-fired heavy industry, including the smelting and refining of heavy metals. During World War II, munitions such as TNT were produced at the Illinois Ordnance Plant north of the lake. A postwar factory, Sangamo-Weston, used PCBs extensively. Chemists have found that much of the lake and the watershed that drains into it is contaminated with lead and other toxic substances. Under a mandate from the U.S. Congress, the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge is charged with the dual duties of maintaining recreational facilities and leasing lakeside land to factories.

Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge

Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge is a 43,890 acre (180 km2) National Wildlife Refuge primarily in southwestern Williamson County, but with small extensions into adjacent eastern Jackson and northeastern Union counties of southern Illinois, in the United States. Its land and water contain a wide diversity of flora and fauna. It centers on Crab Orchard Lake. Major habitat types on the refuge include hardwood forest, agricultural land, grazing units, brushland, wetlands, and lakes. Other major bodies of water on the refuge are Devil's Kitchen Lake and Little Grassy Lake. Description The refuge provides significant resting areas for migratory birds utilizing the Mississippi Flyway. Wintering numbers of Canada geese can peak at 200,000. A total of nearly 1000 vascular plant species, 245 bird species, 33 mammal species, 63 fish species, and 44 reptile and amphibian species have been documented on the refuge. The western 24,000 acres (97 km2) of the refuge provide a wide range of recreational opportunities and also include a 4,050 acre (16 km2) wilderness area. The eastern portion, 20,000 acres (81 km2), is a wildlife sanctuary, and public use is limited. Annual visitation is approximately 1,000,000 visitors. Industrial activities on the refuge range from manufacturing and storage facilities to administrative offices. Many buildings now housing industries were used in the manufacturing of high explosives during World War II, and they are still used for military ordnance production today. The concrete igloos built for munition storage are now leased to private industry for storage of many types of products. Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge is managed with four broad objectives: wildlife management, agriculture, recreation, and industry. The primary wildlife management objective is to satisfy the food and resting needs of wintering Canada geese and other wildlife. This objective is coordinated with the agriculture objective through cooperative farming and permittee grazing programs. Crab Orchard Wilderness The Crab Orchard Wilderness, a federally listed 4,050-acre (16.4 km2) U.S. wilderness area, occupies the southernmost strip of the National Wildlife Refuge.

Known colloquially as Crete, the high school houses students representing the surrounding communities of Crete, Monee, University Park, and portions of Park Forest. History The high school's current building was completed in 2007 at a cost of $60 million. Since its completion, its previous building, built in 1954 on an adjacent property, held the Crete-Monee Sixth Grade Center on its main floor. Following completion of an additional wing in 2016, the Crete-Monee Middle School now houses all students in sixth through eighth grades. As such, the old high school building (known for its athletic dome) is no longer in use by students. Academics Students were previously administered the PSAE (Prairie State Achievement Exam) in their junior year to gauge performance and college readiness. This exam was a requirement under the No Child Left Behind Act. However, in 2015, this act was replaced by the Every Student Succeeds Act and the PSAE was discontinued. The school is a participant in Project Lead the Way, a program created by a not-for-profit of the same name which works to create STEM curricula in U.S. primary and secondary schools. Advanced Placement courses are available beginning in a student's sophomore year and include options such as Language and Composition, Literature and Composition, Calculus A/B, Statistics, World History, U.S. History, Psychology, and Environmental Science. Additionally, students may apply to and attend classes at Kankakee Community College in Kankakee, IL or Prairie State College in Chicago Heights, IL as part of the high school's dual credit program.

Cuneo Museum

The Cuneo Mansion and Gardens are a historic home, art collection and gardens in Vernon Hills, Illinois, built in 1914 and designed by architect Benjamin Marshall of Marshall & Fox. The mansion's first owner was Samuel Insull, an original founder of the General Electric Company. John Cuneo, Sr. purchased the mansion in 1937 after the collapse of the Insull utility empire. Cuneo is best known as the founder of the Cuneo Press and Hawthorn Mellody Dairy. Cuneo had the interior of the Mansion painted with murals from Chicago Ecclesiological Muralist John Mallin. In 2009, the house was donated to Loyola University Chicago. Information The mansion, which remained the family home until the death of Cuneo's widow in 1990, became an art gallery and historic house museum. It opened its doors to the public for the first time in 1991. The mansion's paintings, tapestries, and other furnishings are the result of the Cuneo family's lifelong collecting. In addition to architecture and art, Cuneo is also known for its grounds, designed by the renowned landscape architect Jens Jensen. Starting in 1994, the Cuneo family allowed the Village of Vernon Hills to decorate the gardens with holiday lights. People were invited to drive through the "Winter Wonderland" light show. The annual show ended in 2014 when Loyola University decided to develop the land. Many of the decorations can still be seen around the Village during the holiday season. In the past, interpretive tours of the mansion and its collections were conducted by museum guides and staff. The mansion is available for corporate meetings, wedding receptions, and special events. The Mediterranean style mansion features an arcaded central hall, a lavish formal dining room and a private chapel. The collections include antique furnishings, Renaissance paintings, tapestries, silver and porcelain. Cuneo Museum in film The Cuneo Museum has been the backdrop of several Hollywood films set in Chicago. Many of the outdoor wedding scenes and reception shots for the 1997 romantic comedy My Best Friend's Wedding, starring Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz, were filmed at Cuneo Museum. The museum was also the setting for Witless Protection, starring Larry the Cable Guy, which appeared in 2008. External links [1] References

Dana-Thomas House

La Dana-Thomas House o Susan Lawrence Dana House o Dana House (costruita fra il 1902 e il 1904) è una villa privata, ritenuta un'espressione del genio dell'architetto Frank Lloyd Wright, affine al genere della Prairie House. Sita in East Lawrence Avenue a Springfield, costruita per Susan Lawrence Dana, è una casa di città che riflette l'apprezzamento del committente e dell'architetto per l'architettura organica, che ben si adattava al contesto paesaggistico degli Stati Uniti d'America e per l'arte e l'estetica giapponesi così come essa era raffigurata nelle stampe giapponesi. Storia Nel 1902 Susan Lawrence Dana (1862–1946) era una donna indipendente, erede di una grande fortuna economica della quale facevano parte pure miniere d'argento nelle Montagne Rocciose. Rimasta vedova nel 1900, Dana ha il controllo completo sulla sua famiglia e sulla propria fortuna. Per affermare la propria personalità e diventare la proprietaria di una delle case più prestigiose della città decise di ristrutturare completamente la dimora di famiglia, sita nel prestigioso quartiere di "Aristocracy Hill". La sua ricerca si conclude quando entra in contatto con Frank Lloyd Wright, guida di un nuovo movimento artistico. Susan Lawrence Dana visse nella Dana-Thomas House per circa 24 anni, dal 1904 al 1928. In un primo momento protagonista di successo della scena sociale di Springfield, divenne poi sempre più solitaria e rivolse la sua attenzione allo spiritualismo e all'occulto. Colpita dalla povertà, chiuse la casa principale intorno al 1928 e si trasferì in un piccolo cottage. La sua casa e il suo contenuto furono poi venduti. Architettura Questa casa è una delle più riuscite case di Wright, realizzata secondo gli stilemi della Prairie House. Riflette la personalità di Susan Lawrence Dana e l'amore di Wright e della committente per l'arte nipponica. Una porta ad arco immette gli ospiti in una serie di spazi in espansione, il vestibolo e la sala di ricevimento. Il concetto di "spazio in espansione" è stato ripetuto in tutta la casa, con finestre disposte in modo da dare all'ospite la consapevolezza della parte esterna. Wright ha progettato circa 450 finestre, lucernari e lampadari per la casa, la maggior parte dei quali ancora presenti in sito: si tratta di veri e propri capolavori dell'arte vetraria. Un'ala occidentale conduce i visitatori in due delle più grandi stanze della casa. La galleria al livello superiore è stata destinata all'intrattenimento musicale, la biblioteca al piano terra contiene cavalletti speciali progettate da Wright per Dana per apprezzare la sua collezione di stampe giapponesi, parte di un ampio assortimento di mobili disegnati su misura da Wright per la casa, realizzati in quercia bianca.

Daniel Hale Williams House

The Daniel Hale Williams House is the former home of Dr. Daniel Hale Williams (1856-1931), one of the first major African American surgeons. Located at 445 East 42nd Street in the Grand Boulevard community area of Chicago Illinois, the building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975. Description and history The Daniel Hale Williams House stands on the south side of 42nd Street on Chicago's South Side, about 1/2 block east of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. It is a modest 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, with a roughly L-shaped plan covered by a gabled roof. The front facade has a single-story porch across it, sheltering the main entrance in the left bay, and a polygonal window bay in the right. In the gable above the bay there is a sash window topped by a gabled cornice. The house is not of particular architectural interest, and is estimated to have been built about 1905, when it was purchased by Daniel Hale Williams. Dr. Williams is best known as the first American doctor to perform what would later be known as open heart surgery. In 1893, he operated on a man who had received a stab wound to the heart. At the time the prevailing practice for dealing with direct wounds to the heart was to let the patient die, since it was considered impossible to operate directly on the heart. Williams was also influential in promoting the development of African-American medical practitioners. Since most white-controlled hospitals were reluctant to take on African-American interns, nurses, and other staff, Williams successfully established the Provident Hospital and Training School, the nation's first hospital and training school controlled by African-Americans. Under his leadership, it trained a generation of medical professionals to exacting standards, and is where he performed the above-described operation.
