Bowen High School (Chicago)

James H. Bowen High School is a public four-year high school located in the South Chicago neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Bowen is operated by the Chicago Public Schools district. From 1993 until 2011, Bowen was divided into four smaller schools. Today, the smaller schools have been re-consolidated back into one school. History Bowen High School was established in 1882, under the name South Chicago High School in one of the classrooms of the Bowen Elementary School (demolished), which was located at the northwest corner of 93rd Street and Houston Avenue in the then-independent community of South Chicago. Fourteen pupils were given high school-level instruction. The elementary school and its successor high school were named for Colonel James Harvey Bowen, the first president of the Calumet and Chicago Canal Dock Company and the man known as "the father of South Chicago". The two schools became separate institutions in 1910, when the current building was constructed at the northeast corner of Marquette and 89th Street. It was designed by Dwight Perkins (1867–1941), supervising architect of the Chicago Public School system between 1905 and 1910, and built "on identical plans" as its more famous cousin, Irving Park High School. (opened as Carl Schurz High School The latter building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building cost $700,000 and contained about 125 rooms; it was noted for its manual training and domestic science departments. By the 1930s, Bowen's student body had grown to 4,600, due to the great increase in immigrants of Polish and Slavic descent in the South Chicago area. Athletics Bowen competes in the Chicago Public League (CPL) and is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). Bowen sport teams are called the Boilermakers. The boys' baseball team were Public League champions in the 1953–54 and the 1971 season. The boys' soccer team were Public League champions three times (1979–80, 1980–81 and 1981–82). the boys' football team were Blue Division champs in 1963 defeating Harlan 19-18. After taking a 13-0 lead at half time Bowen came back in the last two minutes of the game to win it on a pass from George Lalich to Steve Zinini. Steve served as a gunner on a chopper in Vietnam. The team got the ball back because of a fumble recovery by Jim Robinson who served as a marine in Vietnam. Those three were the heroes of the game. They were Blue Division Champs back to back in 1981, 1982 and 1983 defeating Harlan each time. The following year they moved up to The Red Division.

Lake Ellyn Park

Lake Ellyn Park is a 28.7-acre (11.6 ha) public park located at 645 Lenox Road in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. The park is centered around Lake Ellyn, an artificial lake created for the Hotel Glen Ellyn in 1889. The hotel burned down in 1906, and Glen Ellyn citizens proposed turning the land into a public park; however, as Glen Ellyn did not have a park district, it lacked the legal authority to buy the land. The city's residents voted to create a park district in 1919, and the new district bought the land and added park facilities in the early 1920s. The park's main building is the Lake Ellyn Recreation House, which was built in 1937. Designed by Frederick G. Walker and built with the help of the Works Progress Administration, the building features a large recreation space with a fireplace and views of the lake. In 1968, the landscaped Ruth Candy Parkway and the Perry Nature Preserve were added to the park; both were preexisting Park District properties that bordered the park. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 7, 2017. References

Trumbull Park is a public park at 2400 E. 105th Street in the South Deering neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois.

Burnham and Company used in many of the South Park Commission's other parks. The fieldhouse in particular has a Beaux-Arts design which calls back to Burnham's work for the 1893 Columbian Exposition.

Brewster Apartments

The Brewster Apartments (originally known as Lincoln Park Palace) is a residential building in the Lake View neighborhood of Chicago. Located at Diversey and Pine Grove (originally Park), it was designed by architect Enock Hill Turnock for Norwegian-born Bjoerne Edwards, publisher of American Contractor, with construction started in 1893 and completed in 1896. Edwards would die from an eighth-floor fall at the construction site before the project was completed. The Romanesque Revival building was designated a Chicago Landmark on October 6, 1982. Architecture The building features a stone exterior of pink jasper and employs steel skeleton-frame construction, which enabled the advent of skyscrapers at the end of the 19th century. The most prominent building feature is a full-height atrium with open cast iron stairways, bridge walkways paved with glass blocks, and a massive skylight. In popular culture The Brewster Apartments has served as a set location for the movies Running Scared, Child’s Play and Hoodlum. Notable residents Illinois Governor John Peter Altgeld lived in the building in 1897 after leaving the governorship. Legend has it that Charlie Chaplin lived in the building in 1915–16 while employed by Chicago's Essanay Studios, and the penthouse owners have sworn by this tale of early film history, but historians say that Chaplin only lived in Chicago for three weeks, and slept on “Broncho Billy” Anderson's couch instead of getting himself an apartment — at the time, he was known for being far too tight with money to rent a place as pricey as the penthouse was.

History Brimfield, Illinois was founded in 1835; however, it was originally known as Charleston. The name was changed at the request of the United States Postal Service, most likely due to a naming conflict with Charleston, Illinois. A complete grade school was built in 1839 on the present-day school grounds. Two schools had preceded it, but couldn’t keep up with the demand and growing population. The first record of a high school in Brimfield lies with Brimfield Academy, on the grounds of the present day City Hall. It was a six-room school in which one room served as the high school. A dedicated high school was built in 1877. The brick building was updated to a new building in recent years. References External links Brimfield Community Unit School District 309
