Bachman House

The Bachman House is a house in Chicago, Illinois, United States. It is located at 1244 W. Carmen Ave. The house was built between 1947 and 1948 by Bruce Goff. Architect Bruce Goff created a neighborhood sensation in 1948, when he remodeled a modest wood house (built in 1889) into the home and studio for recording engineer Myron Bachman. The window openings were changed and an exterior cladding of brick and corrugated aluminum was added. It remains a local attraction, as well as a nationally recognized example of work by one of architecture's most unusual figures. Much of Goff's architectural career was spent in Oklahoma, although he maintained a practice in Chicago from 1934 to 1942. Goff also designed the Turzak House, another Chicago Landmark. Bachman House was designated a Chicago Landmark on December 9, 1992. References
Casa de Adoração Bahá'í em Illinois

A Casa de Adoração Bahá'í (ou Templo Bahá'í) em Wilmette, Illinois, é a mais antiga Casa de Adoração Bahá'í no mundo, e a única nos Estados Unidos. História Em 1908 iniciou-se a compra para a construção do edifício, e em março de 1909, foi estabelecido o "comitê de coordenação" (Comitê Executivo), com nove membros. Bahá'ís de todo o mundo levantaram gradualmente fundos para pagar o projeto. Por exemplo, Baha'is da França contribuíram, mesmo depois de enfrentar em janeiro de 1910 o "Dilúvio de Paris". Um morador de Chicago chamado Nettie Tobin, incapaz de contribuir monetariamente, doou um pedaço descartado de calcário de um canteiro de obras. Esta pedra tornou-se a pedra angular simbólica do prédio quando 'Abdu'l-Bahá chegou a Wilmette em 1 de maio de 1912 para a cerimônia de inauguração, durante suas viagens para o Ocidente. Construção A construção do edifício começou em 1921, depois que bahá'ís concordaram em usar um desenho de Louis Bourgeois. O projeto foi idealizado como uma mistura de vários estilos arquitetônicos diferentes. Em 1922, a primeira parte do edifício, foi finalizada, e os bahá'ís começaram a usá-lo como um ponto de encontro, o exterior do edifício foi concluído em janeiro de 1943. Dedicação e legado O templo foi finalmente dedicado em 2 de maio de 1953. Mais de 3.500 pessoas participaram da cerimônia, incluindo a Mão da Causa, Corinne True, aos 91 anos de idade. Rúhíyyih Khanum, a esposa de Shoghi Effendi, então chefe da religião após a morte de 'Abdu'l-Bahá, fez uma oração na dedicação. Em 1978, a Casa de Adoração foi adicionada ao Registro Nacional de Locais Históricos. O edifício tornou-se um destino popular para turistas, e o Escritório de Turismo de Illinois nomeou-a como uma das "Sete Maravilhas de Illinois". Em 2012, a comunidade bahá'í dos Estados Unidos comemorou os 100 anos de dedicação do templo pedra angular.

Храм бахаи в Уилметте

Храм бахаи в Уилметте — второй и старейший Дом поклонения бахаи, главный храм Нового света. Расположен в пригороде Чикаго Уилметте, штат Иллинойс, Соединённые штаты Америки. С 1978 года включён в национальный реестр исторических мест США. Как и любой бахайский храм, может служить местом поклонения богу для верующих всех религий мира. Первый камень храма был заложен 1 мая 1912 года Абдул-Бахой, старшим сыном основателя веры и главой всех последователей бахаи. Именно Абдул-баха принял решение построить Дом поклонения не в самом Чикаго, а в тихом пригороде, на берегу озера Мичиган. Канадский архитектор Луи Буржуа, выигравший конкурс на постройку храма, успел получить наставления Абдул-Бахи незадолго до его ухода из жизни, в 1920 году. Великая депрессия и Вторая мировая война заметно застопорили строительство здания, оно было закончено лишь к 1952 году — столетию получения Бахауллой Божественного откровения в темнице Сиях-Чаль. 2 мая 1953 года первую молитву при освящении храма прочитала Рухийи Ханум, супруга Хранителя веры Шоги Эффенди, правнука Бахауллы. Здание высотой 42 метра построено по канону, единому для всех бахайских Домов поклонения. Круглое в плане, оно накрыто куполом (22 метра в диаметре), имеет девять фасадов и девять входов, — по священному числу бахаи, символизирующему единство. Здание облицовано бетонными плитами с добавлением в цемент кристаллов кварца двух видов, что позволяет храму многие годы сохранять белоснежность. В тонкой каменной резьбе, украсившей Дом поклонения как снаружи, так и в интерьерах, просматриваются символы мировых религий: шестиконечные звёзды, кресты, полумесяцы со звездой, буддистские свастики. Над входами начертаны изречения Бахауллы. Зал храма вмещает 1200 человек. Ежегодно Дом поклонения принимает до 250 тысяч гостей. Галерея Примечания Литература Bruce W. Whitmore. The Dawning Place.

Bangs Lake

Bangs Lake is a natural glacial lake that is located in Wauconda, Illinois. It is named after Justus Bangs, the first permanent settler in Wauconda, who arrived in the summer of 1836. Justus Bangs reportedly named Wauconda as well, supposedly after a Native American Indian character in a story Bangs had read. However, some believe that Wauconda was named after an Indian chief who is buried on the southern shore of Bangs Lake. In the early 1900s, the Palatine, Lake Zurich and Wauconda Railroad brought vacationers to Wauconda from Chicago, and the beaches of Bangs Lake continued to be a popular vacation destination through the 1960s. In the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, beach scenes were filmed along the shores of Bangs Lake. Activities Bangs Lake hosts many activities including swimming, boating, skiing and fishing during the summer months. The lake is home to such species as bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, northern pike and yellow perch. The Bangs Lake Multisport Festival is scheduled for August 2010 and has three different distances including an Olympic Triathlon, Duathlon, and Aquabike. The winter months bring ice skating and ice fishing to the lake. The Walk on Water Charity Ice Fishing Derby will take place for its seventh year in February 2011. This is an ice fishing event that helps raise funds for the Andrea Lynn Cancer Fund. References External links Walk on Water Ice Benefit Bangs Lake Multisport Festival
540 West Madison

540 West Madison, formerly known as ABN AMRO Plaza, is an office building located in the West Loop area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The building was built for ABN AMRO, parent company of Chicago financial institution LaSalle Bank. To the east sits Citicorp Center building and to the south, residential-complex of Presidential Towers. In the base of the building, there is a Starbucks Coffee and a restaurant bar, Slightly Toasted. The building is anchored by West Madison Street, West Washington Street, North Jefferson Street and North Clinton streets. It was completed in 2003. The building has a total of 29 floors that span 453 feet (138 m). Cost are estimated to have been near US$387 million. It took approximately three years to erect. The goal was to bring together all office workers in Chicago who comprised the staff of the five buildings the company occupied previous to the construction of the Plaza. When the building was acquired by Bank of America as part of the company's acquisition of LaSalle Bank from ABN AMRO in the spring of 2008, the green and yellow shield icon was removed from the building's top. In December 2012, Bank of America sold the building to a group of New York investors for $350 million. It was the largest office transaction in Chicago that year, both in price and cost per square foot. References External links 540 West Madison official website

Basílica de San Jacinto (Chicago)

La Basílica de San Jacinto​ (en inglés: Basilica of St. Hyacinth) Es una iglesia católica histórica de la archidiócesis de Chicago, situada en 3636 West Wolfram Street en el barrio Avondale de la ciudad de Chicago,​ Illinois en Estados Unidos.​ Es un buen ejemplo del llamado "estilo de la catedral polaca" en las iglesias, tanto en su opulencia como en su gran escala. Junto con monumentales edificios religiosos como Santa María de los Ángeles, San Hedwig y San Wenceslao, es una de las muchas iglesias monumentales polacas visibles desde la autopista Kennedy. Fundada en 1894 por los resurreccionistas como la primera parroquia polaca de la ciudad, St. Stanislaus Kostka, la iglesia se convirtió en el centro del sector polaco más conocido de Chicago, Jackowo. La parroquia ha estado íntimamente vinculada con los inmigrantes polacos de Chicago, en particular los que llegaron con las olas de Solidaridad y Post-Solidaridad en la década de 1980. El 26 de junio de 2003, el Papa Juan Pablo II concedió al templo el estatus de basílica menor, siendo la tercera iglesia en Illinois en alcanzar esa condición.

Batavia Depot Museum

The Batavia Depot Museum is a museum in Batavia, Illinois that was once the town's primary train station. It was the first of many depots built by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad Depot. History The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) was established in the 1850s to rival the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad (C&GU). The new railroad was constructed due to growing concern that the cities of Batavia and Aurora would have an economic downfall since the C&GU bypassed both settlements. The railroad station in Batavia was the first constructed by the CB&Q, and as such, the company took extra care to make it stand out architecturally. The wood structure stands two stories tall with red, vertical panels. Originally 22 by 45 feet (6.7 by 13.7 m), a four-room extension was added to the ground floor in 1868. The main structure has a gable roof with Gothic brackets while the extension has a flat roof. The station was later abandoned by the CB&Q, who preferred to maintain only a direct route through Aurora. The station was moved to its current location in 1973 in an effort to preserve it. Renovations were made to restore the building to its 1919 appearance (which was likely very similar to the original). The building was placed on a new cinder block foundation. The new lot also had a basement for a furnace to keep the building open during the winter. The Fox River now lies to the building's east. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 6, 1979. Notes External links Batavia Historical Society: Depot Museum
Bay Creek Wilderness

The Bay Creek Wilderness is a 2,866-acre (11.60 km2) parcel of land listed as a Wilderness Area of the United States. It is located within the Shawnee National Forest in Pope County, Illinois. The nearest town of any size is Eddyville. Second-growth wilderness As with other wilderness areas within Shawnee National Forest, the Bay Creek Wilderness is made of second-growth forested areas that were used, until the land acquisitions of the 1930s, as agriculture land. Shawnee National Forest was created in 1939, and in 1990, the Illinois Wilderness Act set aside seven separate parcels of land within this National Forest as relatively small wilderness areas. The Bay Creek Wilderness, one of these parcels, is a roadless parcel of land within the national forest. Today, the United States Forest Service manages much of the wilderness; after attempting to re-establish conifers on the land parcel, the agency largely left it alone, and spinneys and groves of hardwoods reestablished themselves. Bay Creek Flowing through and draining most of the Bay Creek Wilderness is the upper reaches, close to the headwaters, of Bay Creek, the watercourse for which the wilderness is named. Bay Creek, a tributary of the Ohio River, is currently under study for potential listing as a Wild and Scenic River. Adjacent protected areas On its northwestern edge, the Bay Creek Wilderness adjoins the Burden Falls Wilderness, another Wilderness Area within Shawnee National Forest. The Burden Falls waterfall is made up of water flowing out of the Bay Creek Wilderness. On the southwestern edge of the Bay Creek Wilderness, Bay Creek itself flows through the ghost town of Watkins Ford, Illinois into Bell Smith Springs, a National Natural Landmark.

Bayles Lake (Illinois)

Bayles Lake is a freshwater reservoir located in west Loda, Illinois in Iroquois County, 13.6 miles from Onarga and separated by a road from Lake Iroquois, Illinois. Fishing Known for the high ranked fishing, Bayles Lake is one of the best ranked fishing locations in North America holding five state record fish (walleye, green sunfish, brown bullhead, white crappie, and hybrid sunfish). The lake's most popular fish are the following species: Bayles Lake is annually stocked with fish species other than the ones listed above. Fishermen will find a variety of fish including channel catfish, blue catfish, sunfish, largemouth bass, walleye, smallmouth bass, white catfish, striped bass, flathead catfish, crappie, bluegill, yellow bass, white bass, rock bass, panfish, and white perch here. Fishing came to be one of the top attractions at Bayles Lake due to the high density of fish. Though the lake does not contain sea weed, fish happen to thrive in the waters and grow to tremendous sizes. Fisherman find it convenient not to deal with as many snags and weeds getting caught on their lures. History Bayles Lake is a man-made reservoir constructed in the late 1940s fed by a natural spring. On November 17, 1952, at a special meeting, the board of directors of the corporation known as the Bayles Lake, Inc., made and executed the Bayles Lake Covenants. In 1969, Bayles Lake Inc. assigned all the rights reserved to it over to the Bayles Lake Lot Owners Association, a not-for-profit corporation. This assignment, including the rights under the Covenants, was filed in the Iroquois County recorder's office in Watseka, Illinois. The association, therefore, owns all the lakes, roads, parks, all lands not specifically dedicated, and the water and sewer systems. In 2008 the Bayles Lake Lot Owners Association became the Bayles Lake Homeowners Association (BLHOA) and in 2009 a website was created www.bayleslakehoa.com References http://www.bayleslakehoa.com/documents/LakeManagementStudyPartOne.pdf http://bayleslakehoa.com/documents/1974DNRLakeDepthStudy.pdf http://www.bayleslakehoa.com/documents/BaylesLakeWatershedInformation_000.pdf http://bayleslakehoa.com/documents/CurrentIEPANewsandourSewerProject.pdf http://www.bayleslakehoa.com/documents/BaylesLakeNaturalHabitatArea.pdf http://bayleslakehoa.com/secure/documents/6336DamInspection-Report.pdf http://bayleslakehoa.com/secure/documents/6336DamInspection-Photos.pdf External links http://bayleslakehoa.com/ http://www.fishingworks.com/lakes/illinois/iroquois/buckley/bayles-lake/ http://www.hookandbullet.com/fishing-bayles-lake-onarga-il/
