Ravisloe Country Club

Ravisloe Country Club is a public golf course and wedding venue located in Homewood, Illinois. History 20th century The country club was established in 1901 by mostly Jewish members of Chicago’s Standard Club, on the site of the Briggs farm, only after the first property choice belonging to a Dutchman named Ravisloot. The membership decided on Ravislow, eventually settling on the name Ravisloe. The original golf course, designed by James Foulis and Theodore Moreau in 1901, as a 9-hole course. An additional 55 acres were purchased and 9 more holes were designed and overseen by William Watson from 1910 to 1913. Donald Ross supervised a renovation, carried out from over the span of years 1917–19. Updates continued until 1924. In 1917, the Spanish Mission styled clubhouse was designed by George Nimmons, the same architect behind Olympia Fields’ clubhouse. Ravisloe operated as a Jewish private country club in the early 20th century. Illinois had the second-highest number of Jewish country clubs, mostly in the Chicago metropolitan era. Due to antisemitism, many Jewish people were locked out of cultural institutions like country clubs so they created their own. Early members of Ravisloe tended to be German Jews. 21st century In 2001, club membership commissioned David Esler to restore the course features in the same style as Donald Ross. In late 2008, Ravisloe closed due to financial concerns and declining membership. In February 2009, the club was sold to Dr. Claude Gendreau, a veterinary surgeon, who reopened it to the public. The club was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 1, 2021. In 2025 Curtis White defeated Hendrik Esche by 14 strokes in the first annual Chicagoland Strokers Union "Stroke Off". Notable golfers One of the early pioneers in women's golf was Elaine Rosenthal, who played at Ravisloe. She has a trophy named after her, which is presented to winners of the Illinois Women's Open. She was inducted to the Illinois Golf Hall Of Fame in 1995. In 1913, Harry Vardon and Edward Ray won a match 3 and 2 against Chick Evans and Warren Wood. In 1916, Chick Evans won the US Open and the US Amateur; he won the US Amateur again in 1920. On June 8, 1918, Evans and Wood teamed up again to play Jerome Travers and John Anderson in a four ball match for the Red Cross at Ravisloe. Other notable members include: Julius Rosenwald, head of Sears Roebuck Max Adler Judge Julian W. Mack Salmon O. Levinson Morris Fishbein Milton Reynolds, inventor of the ballpoint pen Philip M.

Red Covered Bridge (Illinois)

Die Red Covered Bridge (Deutsch ‚Rote gedeckte Brücke‘ aufgrund ihrer Farbgebung) ist die letzte erhaltene gedeckte Holzbrücke im Bundesstaat Illinois, die noch von Straßenfahrzeugen befahren werden darf, und zugleich die älteste des Bundesstaates. Sie befindet sich 2,5 km nördlich von Princeton und führt die alte Staatsstraße IL 26 über den Big Bureau Creek. Geschichte Die Brücke wurde unter der Aufsicht der Union Bridge Company, des Bauausschusses des Countys, errichtet. Der siebenköpfige Ausschuss wurde an einer in Princeton abgehaltenen Bürgerversammlung im März 1836 gewählt. In ihm saßen neben einem Vertreter des Countys auch Vertreter der in der Nähe der Brücke liegenden Townships. Die Princeton Township und die Dover Township stellten je zwei Mitglieder, die Bureau Township und die Ohio Township je eines. Die Baukosten betrugen 3149 US-Dollar, wovon 1000 Dollar vom County und 600 Dollar von der Dover Township übernommen wurden. Der Rest wurde durch eine öffentliche Aktienzeichnung aufgebracht. Ein großes Schild über der Brücke wies darauf hin, dass es bei einer Strafe von fünf Dollar verboten war, mehr als zwölf Pferde, Maultiere oder Kühe auf einmal über die Brücke zu treiben. Weiter war es verboten, jegliche Tiere schneller als in Schrittgeschwindigkeit auf die Brücke oder über die Brücke zu führen. 1938 wurde zum 75. Jubiläum der Brücke durch die historische Gesellschaft des Bureau Countys und durch das Straßenbauamt des Countys eine Gedenktafel an der Brücke angebracht. Für das 100-jährige und das 150-jährige Jubiläum wurden kleine Gedenkfeiern abgehalten. 1973 wurde die Brücke restauriert und 1975 in das National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) aufgenommen. Im April 2021 wurde die Brücke schwer beschädigt, nachdem ein leerer Sattelzug aus Kalifornien versucht hatte, die Brücke zu befahren. Der Fahrzeuglenker verließ eine Schweinefarm und folgte dem vom Navigationssystem angegebenen Weg zum Interstate 80, ohne das Gewichtslimit und die beschränkte Durchfahrtshöhe der Brücke zu berücksichtigen. Konstruktion Die Red Covered Bridge besteht aus einem 95 Fuß (29 Meter) langem Hauptträger und zwei Vorbrücken, die 36 Fuß (11 Meter) und 18 Fuß (5,5 Meter) lang sind. Der Hauptträger ist ein zehnfeldriger Howe-Fachwerkträger, der mit Holzplanken verkleidet ist. Die Brücke steht auf Mauerwerkpfeilern. Die Durchfahrtshöhe beträgt 12 Fuß (3,7 m), die Breite der Durchfahrt 15 ½ Fuß (4,7 m). Die Tragfähigkeit beträgt fünf Tonnen. Eine Sprinkleranlage schützt die Brücke vor Zerstörung durch Feuer.

Red Covered Bridge (Illinois)

The Red Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that runs over Big Bureau Creek north of Princeton in Dover Township, Bureau County, Illinois. It was originally built in 1863, at a cost of $3,148.57. The 149-foot (45 m) span is one of ten remaining covered bridges in Illinois, and it is still open to traffic, though now covered with CCTV cameras. It was once part of the Peoria-Galena Trail. The bridge was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on April 23, 1975. In April 2021, a truck driver's GPS routing system sent him through the bridge; the truck caused some damage before he stopped and backed out. Additional height and weight restriction signs were added after the incident. In mid-November 2023, the iconic bridge was severely damaged by a semi tractor trailer crossing and was closed indefinitely for damage assessment and pending future plans. Restoration after the 2023 collision During Phase I engineering, the project team used drones to inspect the underside of the bridge without placing additional strain on the damaged structure, consulted restoration carpenters about historic construction techniques, and used computer modelling to assess the bridge's load capacity. In April 2026, the Illinois Department of Transportation stated that the project had entered Phase II design and plan preparation, with approximately $1 million identified for repairs and safety upgrades.

Reebie Storage Warehouse

The Reebie Storage Warehouse was built for the Reebie Storage and Moving Co. in Chicago, Illinois, in 1922. Located at 2325 North Clark Street #300 in the Lincoln Park neighborhood, it is a widely recognized example of Egyptian Revival architecture. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1979, and was designated a Chicago Landmark on September 1, 1999. Architect George Kingsley (1870-1956) and sculptor Fritz Albert designed the warehouse. Albert was responsible for the exterior's terra cotta ornamentation. The moving company founders, John and William Reebie, are represented by the two statues of Ramses II that flank the main entrance. William Reebie (1859-1921) founded the company in 1880. The Reebie brothers wanted a building in a distinctive style, and John Reebie had seen another Egyptian Revival storage building in Stockton, California (designed in 1918 by Glenn Allen for the Dawson-Mayflower Moving Company). John Reebie had also visited Egypt at some time before 1921 as well. See also Chicago Landmark Chicago architecture References
Reid, Murdoch & Co. Building

The Reid, Murdoch & Co. Building, also known as the Reid Murdoch Building, the Reid Murdoch Center or the City of Chicago Central Office Building, is a seven-story office building in Chicago. It was constructed in 1914 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.

Eastland capsized in the Chicago River on the opposite shore, directly across from the building. In 1930 the westernmost bay was demolished, due to the widening of LaSalle Street, and the façade lost its symmetry. From 1955 the building was used by the City of Chicago, housing its traffic courts, the State Attorney's Office, and various city departments. In 1998, it was redeveloped by Friedman Properties. The building currently houses the headquarters of Encyclopædia Britannica. See also Chicago architecture Chicago Landmark References External links Property owner's web page for the building
Renaissance Coliseum

Renaissance Coliseum is a multi-purpose athletic facility at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. The Bradley Braves women's basketball and volleyball teams play most of their home contests at Renaissance Coliseum, which also houses athletic offices, practice, training/conditioning facilities, the athletics hall of fame and other features. Adjacent to the arena is the men's basketball practice facility. In addition to hosting Bradley Athletics events, the facility hosts concerts, speakers, commencement, IHSA competitions, and other events local to Central Illinois. History Renaissance Coliseum was originally intended to be completed in 2009, but construction delays pushed back the opening to the 2010–11 academic year. After the demolition of Robertson Memorial Field House, the 4,200-seat arena was needed to host sports that don't require the larger Carver Arena. Because of the delays, the Bradley teams moved to Lorene Ramsey Gymnasium at nearby Illinois Central College for the 2009–2010 season. Two cul de sacs (Haussler Lane and Robertson Court) flank each side of Renaissance Coliseum, paying tribute to two prominent campus names. A.J. Robertson was athletics director at Bradley from 1920 to 1948. The Coliseum opened on August 27, 2010. The official dedication took place on October 15, 2010. Events Concerts Concerts the arena has hosted over the years include: Weezer, Jason Derulo, Mike Posner, Taking Back Sunday, Girl Talk, The Band Perry, Plain White T's, The Fray, and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Sports In 2012, the Bradley University Men's Basketball team played its first regular season home game on campus since 1982. The team has continued to schedule at least one regular season home game at the arena since then. Bradley played two home games of the CIT postseason tournament at the Coliseum, defeating both the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and Tulane.
