Graham Building (Aurora, Illinois)

The Graham Building is a 1926 Prairie style building on Stolp Island in Aurora, Illinois. It was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Also, it is a contributing property in a historic district. History The Graham Building was designed by George Grant Elmslie, a leading student of Louis Sullivan. It was one of five buildings Elmslie designed in Aurora, Illinois. The Graham Building is the tallest of the buildings he designed for the city. William Graham was a contractor who commissioned the building. He immigrated from Nova Scotia, Canada in the 1890s. He owned this building until his death in the 1950s. The National Park Service listed it on the National Register of Historic Places on March 19, 1982. On September 10, 1986, it was listed as a contributing property to the Stolp Island Historic District. Architecture The eight-story building was designed the Prairie School architectural style. It is trapezoidal in shape, and is built with steel-reinforced concrete. The exterior is brick in a stretcher bond, with a polished granite first floor street facade. Casement windows with transoms are wood-framed. Windows on the side façades are standard double-hung units. Little attention was given to these elevations, as it was anticipated that adjacent office buildings would soon be constructed. The entry doors are recessed 4 feet (1.2 m) from the edge of the openings. The main facades at Stolp Avenue and the Fox River feature decorative terracotta and brick coursing designs below the second story windows. References

Grand Army of the Republic Hall (Aurora, Illinois)

The Grand Army of the Republic Hall is an historic building located at 23 East Downer Place on Stolp Island in Aurora, Illinois, in the United States. History The Soldier's Monument Association formed in Aurora in 1869 with the intent of raising funds to construct a monument to veterans of the U.S. Civil War. The group was very successful, and secretary Fred O. White proposed that a building should be erected in honor of the soldiers instead. White was inspired by a recent visit to Memorial Hall in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and noted that that structure was a useful meeting place and library. The Aurora building was intended to be almost identical to the Foxborough building, though the builders decided not to replicate the granite roof and stained glass. Joseph Mulvey was hired to design the building; no other Mulvey-designed structures have yet been identified. The building was constructed on Stolp Island, a small piece of land considered to be "neutral territory" between the east and west sides of Aurora. Stolp Island was a popular spot for public buildings due to increasingly strained relations between the two sides of the river. The GAR Hall was the only public library in Aurora until a Carnegie library opened across the street in 1903. The hall was the meeting place of the Aurora G.A.R. Post No. 20, which was one of 779 posts in the Department of Illinois. Any honorably discharged Union veteran of the war could join the group. The group was formally recognized until the death of its last member, Daniel Augustus Wedge, in 1947. The Grand Army of the Republic Hall was slated for demolition in the 1960s. Public outcry forced the city to change its plans, and a 1963 fundraising campaign provided financial support to rehabilitate the building. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and was part of the Stolp Island Historic District when it was separately listed in 1986. Renovations were partially completed in 2016, and the hall was opened to the public as "The Grand Army of the Republic Memorial Museum." The G.A.R. Memorial Museum is open every Saturday afternoon, Noon to 4 p.m. The octagonally-shaped building was built with locally quarried limestone. The standing Gothic Revival structure is one and a half stories and features a small lot outside of the building with an 1851 cannon, a bench, and a flagpole. An addition was constructed in 1884 on the south wing, but was demolished during the 1963 restoration.

Guerin College Preparatory High School

Guerin Preparatory High School was a private Catholic high school in River Grove, Illinois, United States. It was located in the Archdiocese of Chicago. History Guerin was established in 1962 as Mother Theodore Guerin High School, an all-girls school, by the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. The sisters named the school after their congregation's foundress, Mother Théodore Guérin. The school was renamed when it became coeducational in 2004 and absorbed the students from the all-male Holy Cross High School, after that school closed. Holy Cross High School had been opened in 1961. Guerin closed permanently after the 2019–20 academic year due to declining enrollment, increased need in financial aid for students, and lower than expected fundraising results. Athletics The Guerin Prep Crusaders/Gators were members of two athletic conferences: men (Crusaders) compete as a member of the Metro Suburban Conference, while the women (Gators) compete in both the Metro Suburban Conference and Suburban Christian Conference. Formerly, the all-boys Holy Cross High School competed in the East Suburban Catholic Conference until consolidating with the all-girls Mother Guerin High School in 2004. The school sponsored interscholastic sports teams for both men and women in basketball, volleyball, cross country, soccer, golf, and track & field. The school sponsors teams for men in baseball, football, and wrestling, while there are teams for women in softball. The school competed in state championship tournaments sponsored by the Illinois High School Association. Guerin Prep has achieved memorable success in several sports. The following teams are notable for success in their respective sports: Basketball (men's): 2005 Regional Champions, 2008 Regional Champions Basketball (women's): 2010 Regional Champions, 2011 Regional Champions, 2012 Regional Champions Baseball: 2007 Regional Champions, 2008 Regional Champions, 2014 Regional Champions, 2015 Regional Champions Softball: 2008 Regional Champions, 2009 Regional Champions, 2010 Sectional Champions, 2011 Regional Champions, 2012 Regional Champions Volleyball (women's): 2008 Regional Champions, 2012 Regional Champions Wrestling: 2012 State Finalist Class 1A, 2012 Individual Regional Champions (4), 2013 State Finalist Class 1A, 2013 Individual Regional Champions (4), 2014 State Finalist Class 1A, 2014 Individual Regional Champion (1) Ice Hockey: 2007 Junior Varsity State Champions, 2008 Junior Varsity State Champions Cross Country (men's): 2008 State Finalist Class 2A Cross Country (women's): 2010 State Finalist Class 2A, 2011 Individual Sectional Champion Track & Field (men's): 2012 State Finalist Class 1A Long Jump, 2013 State Finalist Class 1A Long Jump, 2014 State Finalist Class 1A Long Jump Track & Field (women's): 2010 Individual Sectional Champion 3200-meter, 2010 State Finalist Class 1A 3200-meter, 2011 Individual Sectional Champion 3200-meter, 2011 State Finalist Class 1A 3200-meter Notes and references External links Official website
Gull Island (Charlevoix County, Michigan)

Gull Island, located in St. James Township, Charlevoix County, Michigan, is the largest of approximately one dozen islands bearing this name in Michigan. 230 acres (0.9 km2) in size, it is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as part of the Michigan Islands National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge was created in 1943. Relatively isolated, Gull Island is located 7 miles (11 km) west of High Island (Michigan), which is itself uninhabited. It is the largest of the four Lake Michigan islands in the Michigan Islands NWR, and the only one to have a substantial forest ecosystem. Balsam fir and northern whitecedar grow in the island's humid, boreal climate. Gull Island also has beaches and sand dunes on its north and east sides. Gull Island, like the other Lake Michigan islands within the Michigan Islands NWR, is managed as a satellite refuge of the Seney National Wildlife Refuge. On November 18, 1958, the SS Carl D. Bradley, a cargo vessel that specialized in the transport of limestone for steel mills, foundered and sank 12 miles southwest of Gull Island. The incident included the loss of 33 of the 35 men aboard. References External links Seney NWR
