St. Martin Island

St. Martin Island is located off the Garden Peninsula in Delta County in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the southernmost island in Michigan that is part of a line of islands at the mouth of the bay of Green Bay and is part of the Niagara Escarpment. Geography Gravelly Island, Gull Island, and Little Gull Island are approximately two miles to the north and east across the St. Martin Island Passage. Rock Island in Wisconsin is approximately six miles south-southwest, across the Rock Island Passage. It is 18 miles (29 km) from the Door County Peninsula. History In 1864 the Peninsula Railroad was completed to connect Escanaba, Michigan to Negaunee iron mines. Escanaba's maritime commerce "exploded as vessels loaded with ore left the growing port headed for the hungry steel mills along the shores of the eastern lakes." The island and the surrounding reefs are a hazard to navigation, and as early as 1891, the United States Lighthouse Board asked Congress for appropriations to build a light there. The request for a lighthouse was necessitated by the existence of a shoal that extends out for a mile each way from the island. It took the U.S. Congress eight years to appropriate the funds. St. Martin Island Light was constructed in 1905. Robert W. Warner of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin was the first pilot to land on St. Martin Island in the early 1950s. To this day, no one else has traveled to the island by air. The Fred Luber family bought roughly 94% of the island (1,244 acres) in the 1980s, intending to build a resort. The remote location made development difficult and the island was left unimproved. The Nature Conservancy bought the island in 2013, intending to donate it to the Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge as it is an important bird stopover point. St. Martin Island and the lighthouse are off limits to the public. Note "St. Martin Island" may also refer to islands in Mackinac County, Michigan. There is the St. Martin Island at 45°57′42″N 84°34′19″W, which along with Little Saint Martin Island at 45°56′47″N 84°33′53″W and Big St. Martin Island at 45°58′06″N 84°37′41″W form the St. Martin Islands group in the St. Martin Bay. In popular culture The 1982 Canadian slasher film Humongous is set on St. Martin Island. References
Île Saint-Martin (Michigan)

L'île Saint-Martin est une île du lac Michigan, au large de Garden Peninsula (en) dans le comté de Delta (Michigan aux USA). C'est l'île la plus au sud du Michigan qui fait partie d'une ligne d'îles à l'embouchure de la baie de Green Bay et fait partie de l'escarpement du Niagara. Historique En 1864, le Peninsula Railroad fut achevé pour relier Escanaba aux mines de fer de Negaunee. L'île et les récifs environnants constituent un danger pour la navigation et, dès 1891, le Lighthouse Board des États-Unis a demandé au Congrès des crédits pour y construire un phare. La demande d'un phare était rendue nécessaire par l'existence d'un haut-fond qui s'étend sur un mile dans chaque sens depuis l'île. Le phare de l'île Saint-Martin a été construit en 1905. La famille Fred Luber a acheté la quasi-totalité de l'île dans les années 1980, avec l'intention de construire une station balnéaire. L'emplacement éloigné a rendu le développement difficile et l'île n'a pas été améliorée. The Nature Conservancy a acheté l'île en 2013, dans l'intention d'en faire don au Green Bay National Wildlife Refuge, car il s'agit d'une étape importante pour les oiseaux migrateurs. L'île Saint-Martin et le phare sont interdits au public.

St. Thomas Church and Convent

St. Thomas the Apostle Church is a historic site at 5472 S. Kimbark Avenue in Hyde Park, Chicago, Illinois, at 55th Street. A Roman Catholic church of the Archdiocese of Chicago, it was built in 1922 and opened in 1925 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It was designed by Barry Byrne, who was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and incorporated elements from Wright's Prairie School of design and from the modernist movement. Byrne had previously built the convent at St. Thomas Apostle in 1919. It was built during a period of liturgical renewal that was just reaching the U.S. It is often cited as anticipating the liturgical reforms of the Second Vatican Council by some 40 years due to its projecting altar and lack of interior columns. St. Thomas School In 1886, following renovations to the church building, a parochial school was established, staffed by Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa. By 1916, the school facilities were found to be inadequate and the parish began renting a nearby vacant public school building and in 1929, a new school was built. In 1980 the school merged with other nearby Catholic schools. In 2021, the school was involved in controversy when reporting showed that the Augustinian-owned St. John Stone Friary, less than a block away, began to house James Ray, a priest of the Chicago archdiocese who had been accused of sexual abuse of minors multiple times, beginning in 2000. Neither Augustinian nor Archdiocese of Chicago officials raised the proximity of St. Thomas School as a possible concern, with church records incorrectly stating that there was no school in the immediate area of the friary. This is in spite of the fact that Ray had taken students out of class at prior assignments. While Augustinians at the friary understood the priest's case and the need for compliance with restrictions on his ministry, this was not communicated to school officials. The arrangement of the accused priest, James Ray, residing at the friary was approved by the provincial superior of the Augustinians, Robert Prevost, who would become Pope Leo XIV in 2025.

Stagg Field

Amos Alonzo Stagg Field — назва двох послідовних футбольних полів для Чиказького університету. Окрім спорту, перший Stagg Field (1893—1957) запам'ятався своєю роллю у знаковому науковому досягненні Енріко Фермі та Металургійної лабораторії під час Манхеттенського проєкту. 18 лютого 1965 року місце першої штучної ланцюгової ядерної реакції, яка сталася на західній оглядовій трибуні поля, було визнано пам'яткою національної історії. 15 жовтня 1966 року, тобто в день, коли було прийнято Національний закон про збереження історичних пам'яток 1966 року, який створив Національний реєстр історичних місць, він також був доданий до нього. 27 жовтня 1971 року це місце було названо пам'яткою Чикаго. Скульптура Генрі Мура «Ядерна енергія» у невеликому чотирикутнику вшановує місце проведення ядерного експерименту. Університетське нинішнє поле Stagg Field розташоване за кілька кварталів звідси та використовує одні з оригінальних воріт. Перша ланцюгова ядерна реакція Чиказька дровітня-1, перший у світі штучний ядерний реактор, був побудований на корті для сквошу під західними трибунами Stagg Field, який на той час вже не використовувався для футболу. Перша самопідтримувана ланцюгова ядерна реакція, створена людиною, сталася 2 грудня 1942 року. Спортивний майданчик Перший Stagg Field Перший Stagg Field був стадіоном Чиказького університету в Чикаго. В основному він використовувався для ігор студентського футболу та був домашнім полем Maroons. Stagg Field спочатку був відкритий у 1893 році як Marshall Field, названий на честь Маршалла Філда, який пожертвував землю університету для будівництва стадіону. У 1913 році поле було перейменовано на Stagg Field на честь відомого тренера Амоса Алонзо Стегга. Кінцева місткість стадіону, після кількох розширень, становила 50 000 місць. Університет Чикаго припинив свою футбольну програму після 1939 року та покинув конференцію Великої десятки у 1946 році. Стадіон було знесено в 1957 році, і більша частина території стадіону була використана як місце для бібліотеки Регенштайна. Новий Stagg Field Нинішній Stagg Field — це спортивне поле, розташоване в кількох кварталах на північний захід, яке зберегло назву Stagg Field, а також перенесені ворота з оригінального об'єкта. Нинішня футбольна команда Дивізіону III школи використовує нове поле як свій дім. Він також є домом для футбольних команд Chicago Maroons, софтболу та команд на відкритому повітрі. Stagg Field має місткість 1650 місць, а ігрове покриття виготовлено з FieldTurf.

Ozinga Field

Ozinga Field is a baseball stadium located in Crestwood, Illinois. The stadium was built in 1999 and holds 3,500 seats. It is the home field of the Windy City ThunderBolts, playing in the Frontier League (FL). It is also the home field for the Roosevelt Lakers baseball team of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Name The park features one of the few minor league baseball stadium upper decks in the country. The park was built for the Cook County Cheetahs. However, new ownership changed the name of the team into the current Windy City ThunderBolts. Renovations The name change brought renovations to the ballpark between 2004 and 2006 including a new fan deck on the first base side, a beer garden, a new kids zone down the left field line, and a new ticket office also down the left field line. The ballpark was originally called Hawkinson Ford Field until the 2007 season when the park's name was modified to Hawk Ford Field. Another name change occurred during the 2007 season on August 13, when the naming rights were sold to Standard Bank. A new scoreboard/videoboard system was added toward the end of the 2014 season and in 2015 the old grass playing surface was removed and a new synthetic turf field with new drainage system was installed. The renovations make the facility a multi-sport & concert arena available 10 months a year. On February 20, 2019, the ThunderBolts and the village of Crestwood issued a statement announcing the name change to Ozinga Field.

Stauduhar House

The Stauduhar House is an historic building located in Rock Island, Illinois, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The house is in the Highland Park Historic District. George P. Stauduhar George Stauduhar was a prolific architect based in Rock Island. He graduated with a degree in architecture from the University of Illinois in 1888. Stauduhar moved to Rock Island in 1890 to establish his practice, which ended with his death in 1928. He married Anna Elizabeth Farrell in 1891 and they raised eight children. The architectural practice was a family business. His sons assisted in the business arrangements and supervised the construction on the work-site. His oldest son, Charles, owned his own construction company and was his father's business partner. The Stauduhar daughters maintained the business's financial records and inventories. He died of heart failure in Valley City, North Dakota on September 23, 1928, while supervising the construction of a church. His son and business partner Charles died the next day in an automobile accident while on his way to make his father's funeral arrangements. While this brought an end to the family's architectural business, they continued to live in the house until 1975. George Stauduhar's architectural and personal papers were donated to the University of Illinois. While Stauduhar designed a variety of buildings, he is most noted for his work for the Catholic Church. He designed over 200 churches in the Gothic Revival style in the upper Mississippi River Valley. Eight of his churches were built in Rock Island County. Stauduhar used classical architectural styles in his residential buildings that incorporated his love for the romantic. He liked to mix textures and various architectural details in the homes he designed. His own home exemplifies this tendency in his work. Stauduhar also designed commercial buildings and steamboat interiors. A sample of George Stauduhar's designs in Rock Island includes: St. Mary's Rectory (1890) John Looney residence (1895) Kelly Residence (1895) Villa de Chantal (1900–1919) Sacred Heart Church (1901) Shields House (1904) Potter House (1907) West End Settlement (1907) Peoples National Bank remodel (1910) Math Residence (1911) Audubon School (1912) A.D. Huesing Bottling Plant and Garage (1912) Fire Station #5 (1914) Eagles Building (1914) Fire Station #6 (1916) Long View Park Chalet (1917) Ward residence (1918) Architecture Stauduhar designed his own home in 1895 utilizing an eclectic style with Free Classic influences. It features a tile roof, a Classical pediment that sits on top of two-story columns, rounded bays, twisted copper downspouts and different window shapes used throughout the structure. Originally the second and third stories were covered in cedar shingles. They were replaced by stucco after a 1918 fire. On the interior the dining room features a barrel-vaulted ceiling and elaborate woodwork in the entry hall. References
Stephen A. Douglas Tomb

The Stephen A. Douglas Tomb and Memorial or Stephen Douglas Monument Park is a memorial that includes the tomb of United States Senator Stephen A. Douglas (1813–1861). It is located at 636 E. 35th Street in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois (part of the city's Douglas community), near the site of Camp Douglas. The land was originally owned by Douglas’ estate but was sold to the state of Illinois, when it became known as “Camp Douglas,” serving first as training grounds for Union soldiers during the Civil War, then as a prisoner of war camp. The memorial is a 96-foot granite structure comprising three circular bases and a 20-foot diameter octagonal mausoleum which holds Douglas’ sarcophagus. Large bronze allegorical figures portraying “Illinois,” “History,” “Justice,” and “Eloquence” are positioned at the four main corners of the mausoleum. Four bas-reliefs in the panels of the main base depict the advance of American civilization. A ten-foot statue of Douglas stands atop a 46 ft column of white marble from his native state, Vermont. Douglas, best remembered for debating Abraham Lincoln over slavery, died from typhoid fever on June 3, 1861 in Chicago, where he was buried on the shore of Lake Michigan. Immediately after his death an association of notable Chicagoans was formed to oversee the construction of a suitable tomb and monument, but its members failed to raise sufficient funds. In 1865 the state of Illinois purchased the tomb from Douglas' widow, Adele Douglas, for $25,000. On June 3, 1868, Douglas' body was placed in the completed portion of the tomb. Leonard Volk, a relative of Douglas by marriage, designed the tomb and monument. In 1871 the Great Chicago Fire destroyed Volk's plans for the unfinished structure. The tomb was completed in May 1881, after an expense of $90,000. The memorial was designated a Chicago Landmark on September 28, 1977. The tomb is maintained by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency as a state historic site. Notes External links Media related to Stephen A.

Tumba de Stephen A. Douglas

La Tumba y monumento conmemorativo de Stephen A. Douglas o Parque del Monumento de Stephen Douglas es un monumento que incluye la tumba del senador de los Estados Unidos Stephen A. Douglas (1813-1861). Está ubicado en 636 E. 35th Street en el vecindario Bronzeville de Chicago, Illinois (parte de la comunidad Douglas), cerca del sitio del Ejército de la Unión y el campamento de prisioneros de guerra Douglas. La tierra era originalmente propiedad de los herederos de Douglas, pero se vendió al estado de Illinois, cuando se conoció como "Camp Douglas" y sirvió primero como campo de entrenamiento para los soldados de la Unión durante la Guerra de Secesión, y luego como campo de prisioneros de guerra. Descripción El monumento es una estructura de granito de 29,2 m que comprende tres bases circulares y un mausoleo octogonal de 6,1 m de diámetro que contiene el sarcófago de Douglas. Grandes figuras alegóricas de bronce que representan "Illinois", "Historia", "Justicia" y "Elocuencia" están ubicadas en las cuatro esquinas principales del mausoleo.​ Cuatro bajorrelieves en los paneles de la base principal representan el avance de la civilización americana.​ Una estatua de 3m de Douglas se encuentra encima de una columna de mármol blanco de su estado natal, Vermont.​ Douglas, mejor recordado por debatir con Abraham Lincoln sobre la esclavitud, murió de fiebre tifoidea el 3 de junio de 1861 en Chicago, donde fue enterrado a orillas del lago Míchigan. Inmediatamente después de su muerte, se formó una asociación de notables habitantes de Chicago para supervisar la construcción de una tumba y un monumento adecuados, pero sus miembros no lograron recaudar fondos suficientes. En 1865, el estado de Illinois compró la tumba a la viuda de Douglas, Adele Douglas, por 25 000 dólares. El 3 de junio de 1868, el cuerpo de Douglas fue colocado en la parte completa de la tumba. Leonard Volk, pariente de Douglas, diseñó la tumba y el monumento. En 1871, el Gran Incendio de Chicago destruyó los planes de Volk para la estructura sin terminar. La tumba se completó en mayo de 1881, tras un gasto de 90 000 dólares.​ El monumento fue designado Monumento de Chicago el 28 de septiembre de 1977.​ La tumba es mantenida por la Agencia de Preservación Histórica de Illinois como un sitio histórico estatal. El 14 de julio de 2020, tres miembros del Caucus Negro Legislativo de Illinois pidieron la remoción de la estatua, calificándola de "un tributo a un racista y sexista ampliamente conocido".​ Referencias
