Petrillo Music Shell

Die Petrillo Music Shell ist ein Freiluft-Amphitheater und Musikpavillon im Grant Park im Chicagoer Loop Bezirk. Sie beherbergt viele große Musikfestivals der Stadt wie das Chicago Blues Festival, das Chicago Jazz Festival, den Taste of Chicago und die Lollapalooza. Geschichte Vor der Errichtung des Jay Pritzker Pavilions beherbergte die Petrillo Music Shell auch kleinere Festivals mit weniger als 10.000 Zuschauern wie das Grant Park Music Festival, das Chicago Gospel Music Festival und das Chicago Latin Musisc Festival. Die Petrillo Music Shell lag früher am südlichen Ende des Grant Park und wurde im Jahr 1978 verlegt. Die Konzertmuschel wurde 1931 vom Anton Cermak, dem damaligen Bürgermeister von Chicago, in Auftrag gegeben. Benannt wurde das Bauwerk nach James C. Petrillo, dem Präsidenten der Chicago Federation of Musicians und Präsident der American Federation of Musicians, der eine kostenlose Konzertreihe im Grant Park in 1935 organisierte. Bis in die 1990er Jahre war die Petrillo Music Shell für ein traditionelles Konzert zum Unabhängigkeitstag bekannt, das mit dem Feuerwerk der Stadt am 3. Juli koordiniert wurde, bekannt. Durch historische Urteile ist die Stadt Chicago gezwungen, eine Höhenbeschränkung für Gebäude im Grant Park einzuhalten. Ab 1972 gab es Pläne, eine neue Konzertmuschel zu bauen. Die meisten Pläne wurden aber auf Grund der Höhenbeschränkungen und der Kosten verworfen. Im Jahr 1978 wurde die Konzertmuschel an den heutigen Platz verlegt. Offiziell ist die Muschel nur eine temporäre Installation. Damit wurden die Höhenbeschränkungen umgangen. Mit der offiziellen Adresse 235 S. Columbus Drive, umfasst die Musikmuschel den gesamten Block und wird vom Lake Shore Drive im Osten, dem Columbus Drive im Westen, der East Monroe Street im Norden und Osten und der Jackson Street im Süden begrenzt.

Pettengill–Morron House

The Pettengill–Morron House, or simply Morron House, is a historic mansion located in the city of Peoria, Illinois, United States. This Second Empire style home is located in the local historic Moss-High District. The property was added to the National Register of Historic Places and is a City of Peoria Local Historic Landmark. It currently operates as a museum by the Peoria Historical Society. History The house was originally built in 1868 for Moses Pettengill, a hardware store owner who came to Peoria from New Hampshire in 1833. When Pettengill arrived in Peoria, there were 150 people, 30 log cabins, and three frame houses. Pettengill and his wife Lucy originally made their home on the site of the present-day Peoria Civic Center from 1836 to 1862. The original house on the site, an 1862 construction that was built for $5,000, was destroyed by fire on December 13, 1865. A new brick building was constructed in 1868 in the Second Empire style for the cost of $12,000. A Colonial Revival porch and porte-cochere were added in 1900. Its original address was 464 Moss Avenue before Peoria's address renumbering in the 1950s. The last resident was Miss Jean Morron, who lived there from 1953 until she died in 1966; the Peoria Historical Society acquired the house in 1967. Legacy The house was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on April 2, 1976. The home is also listed as a contributing member to the West Bluff Historic District, which was added to the National Register in December 1976. It was added to the City of Peoria Local Historic Landmark list in December 2021. The house received a grant from Landmarks Illinois in 2020 to fund repairs. The Peoria Historical Society operates this house and the Judge Flanagan Residence as historic house museums. The Pettengill Collection of artifacts was donated by Moses Pettengill's relative, Daisy Peirce Hale. The collection includes paintings that were restored and hung in the museum, Blanchard Pettengill's diary of growing up on the Moss Avenue property, and other family history records.

Phillips Park Zoo

Phillips Park Zoo is located on the grounds of Phillips Park, in Aurora, Illinois, United States. It was originally established in 1915, and is still open year-round with no admission charge. It was once home to exotic animals such as giraffes and monkeys, but the zoo's focus changed to native animals after Brookfield Zoo opened in 1934. History After Phillips Park Zoo was established in 1915, a birdhouse was built in 1916. By 1920, the zoo had 5 black bears, 10 monkeys, 19 elk with 19 buffalo, 2 foxes, 1 wolf, and 20 deer, in addition to hundreds of birds. Unfortunately, a hailstorm destroyed the original birdhouse in 1933. After the loss of the birdhouse and Brookfield Zoo opening in 1934, the Phillips Park Zoo refocused on displaying native animals. In 1937, mastodon bones and tusks, which were found in the park, were on display at the zoo causing it to also be known as a museum. Only two major projects took place in the zoo history between 1937 and the 1980s. In 1950, a barn was built. Then in 1964, a water wheel was added to the zoo. Swans and other farmyard animals now have their exhibits around these original structures. From the 1980s to the present time, the zoo has created new exhibit areas and added additional animals. The latest of these additions was the cougar exhibit which opened in 2005. Extensive work has also been done on the exhibits for otters, wolves, elks, and remodeling the reptile house. Animal additions included two bald eagles named Kenai and Denali, and Chopper the Caiman. Exhibits Exhibits shown on the zoo map include North American river otters, great horned owls, llamas and pygmy goats, gray wolves, farmyard animals including ducks, geese and swans, bald eagles, reptiles from over ten different species along with a variety of smaller animals, Indian peafowl, and elk. There is also Education Center which is used by the ZooCiety for various activities throughout the year.

Kościół Kamienny w Plano

Kościół Kamienny w Plano – kościół zbudowany w 1868 r. w Plano, w stanie Illinois, służący jako siedziba główna Zreorganizowanego Kościoła Jezusa Chrystusa Świętych w Dniach Ostatnich (obecnie: Społeczności Chrystusa) za kadencji Prezydenta Józefa Smitha III. Znajduje się na liście National Register of Historic Places. Historia Kościół był pierwszym obiektem sakralnym wzniesionym po reorganizacji Kościoła (1860). Prezydent Smith III przeprowadził się do Plano w 1866 r., zaś rok później wyznaczony został na kierownika budowy nowego kościoła. Komitet budowlany na czele z prorokiem wybrał miejsce, opracowali projekt i wyznaczyli wykonawców. Kościół Kamienny w Plano był centralą Zreorganizowanego Kościoła od ukończenia budowy (1868) do kolejnej wyprowadzki Prezydenta Józefa Smitha III do Lamoni w stanie Iowa. Charakterystyka Budynek kościelny wzniesiony został w greckim stylu odrodzeniowym. Za budulec ścian zewnętrznych posłużył piaskowiec.

Plum Island (Wisconsin)

Plum Island is an island in Lake Michigan in the southern part of the town of Washington in Door County, off the tip of the Door Peninsula in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The uninhabited island has a land area of 1.179 square kilometres (0.455 mi2) or 117.87 hectares (291.3 acres). Carp Lake is located on the northwestern side. During years when Lake Michigan's water levels are high, it is a lagoon of Lake Michigan, but it gets cut off as a separate lake during low-water years. The island is a bird sanctuary under control of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and part of the Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge since 2007, and is open to the public for recreational purposes. The island also holds the unmanned Plum Island Range Lights and now-closed Plum Island Lifesaving Station. Border Dispute The border between Wisconsin and Michigan was originally defined as "the most usual ship channel" into Green Bay from Lake Michigan, but commercial routes existed both to the north and south of the island, which led to a border dispute. In 1936, the U.S. Supreme Court decision Wisconsin v. Michigan found that Plum and other nearby islands were part of Wisconsin. Climate Lifesaving Station and Range Lights A lighthouse was built on the island in 1848 and abandoned when it was decided to move it to nearby Pilot Island in 1858. The island was re-colonized in 1895–6, when both a lifesaving station on the northeast corner and a set of range lights on the western side were built. The lifesaving station operated from 1895 to 1991, before being moved to nearby Washington Island, while the range lights were automated in 1969 and remain an active aid to navigation. Shipwreck The wreck of the Grape Shot is 0.18 miles (0.29 km) northwest of the lifesaving station in 8 feet (2.4 m) of water. It sank in 1867 after being driven ashore in a gale while carrying a cargo of lumber.

Plum Island

Plum Island est une île du lac Michigan, au large de la pointe de la péninsule de Door dans le comté de Door de l'État américain du Wisconsin. Elle est a proximité de Washington Island. L'île est inhabitée. Elle est un sanctuaire d'oiseaux sous le contrôle de l'United States Fish and Wildlife Service et fait partie du Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge . L'île abrite le phare arrière de Plum Island. Il y a environ 250 épaves au large des côtes de l'île. Conflit frontalier L'île a fait l'objet d'un litige frontalier entre le Wisconsin et le Michigan. Le texte de 1836 définissant la frontière entre les deux états américains était à l'origine définie comme le chenal maritime le plus usuel entre la baie de Green Bay et le lac Michigan, mais deux routes commerciales existaient, à la fois au nord et au sud de l'île, ce qui a entraîné le différend frontalier. En 1936, la Cour suprême des États-Unis a conclu dans un arrêt (Wisconsin v. Michigan (en)) que Plum Island et trois autres îles faisaient partie du Wisconsin.

Consulate General of Poland, Chicago

The Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago (Polish: Konsulat Generalny Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej w Chicago) is a consular mission of the Republic of Poland in the United States. The mission serves the largest Polish communities outside of Poland. The consulate is located at 1530 North Lake Shore Drive in the Gold Coast area of the Near North Side region of Chicago, Illinois. History Soon after the establishment of the Second Polish Republic, a consulate was opened in Chicago on June 1, 1920, with Zygmunt Nowicki being the first consul. After the United States recognized the Provisional Government of National Unity (later becoming the communist Polish People's Republic) over the Polish government-in-exile in 1945, the previous representatives refused to hand over the premises of their missions, resulting in it taking several months before all consulates, including the one in Chicago, were taken by PPR diplomats. The US Department of State asked that the consulate be closed down in 1954; it took until October 1958 for an agreement to be made to restore it, with the consulate finally reopening in October 1959. The consulate had jurisdiction over 28 states from that point until the opening of a consulate in Los Angeles, which took jurisdiction over 15 western states previously managed there. Through the 1980s, the Polish American Congress held demonstrations outside the consulate, among other measures, to signal their support for the Solidarity movement and protest the imposition of martial law in Poland. This led to the square outside the consulate being dubbed "Solidarity Square". The building that currently houses the consulate opened in 1916 as a private residence named Eckhart Mansion, designed by the firm Marshall and Fox. The Polish government bought the house in 1974. The house became a Gold Coast historical monument in 1989.
