Winslow House (River Forest, Illinois)

The Winslow House is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed house located at 515 Auvergne Place in River Forest, Illinois. Built in 1894–95, it was his first major commission as an independent architect. While the design owes a debt to the earlier James Charnley House, Wright always considered the Winslow House extremely important to his career. Looking back on it in 1936, he described it as "the first 'prairie house'." The original owner, William Winslow, was exemplary of Wright's Chicago clients, which the architect described as, "American men of business with unspoiled instincts and ideals." A manufacturer of decorative ironwork, Winslow later worked with Wright on a number of publishing projects, specifically for Keats's The Eve of St. Agnes (1896), and William C. Gannett's The House Beautiful (1896–97). The men were first introduced through Winslow's dealings with Adler and Sullivan, Wright's former employers. He was in the ornamental iron business and his firm had done the facade on the Carson Pirie Scott building for Wright's previous employer. Adler and Sullivan were not interested in performing residential architectural assignments so Winslow turned to Wright. The house's design is inspired by the works of Wright's mentor Louis Sullivan and anticipates Wright's mature Prairie School buildings of the next decade. Sheltered beneath a low-pitched roof with wide eaves, the home is symmetrical and horizontally divided into a stone section, a golden Roman brick section, and a terra cotta frieze of Sullivanesque ornament. In contrast to the calm and balanced front facade, the rear is a mass of irregular geometric forms. The interior echoes both Wright's own home and the Charnley House, with the fireplace at the center facing the entry with rooms on either side and a hidden main staircase. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 1970. In 2016 the house was sold for $1.375 million. The family of its previous owner, the general manager of a local television station, had owned the house for 57 years.

Maison Winslow

La maison Winslow est un bâtiment situé à River Forest, dans l'Illinois, conçu par l'architecte Frank Lloyd Wright. Construite sur une rue privée dans le domaine Edward Waller, la Maison Winslow a été la première réalisation indépendante de Wright et sa première tentative de réinventer la maison traditionnelle. La construction débuta en 1893 et finit en 1894. Architecture En 1894 la maison Winslow constituait une originalité, démarquée des habitations locales. Les murs montent vers un chaperon en pierre artificielle. Le second étage de la maison est couvert en terre-cuite. Les éléments de maçonnerie sont dans le style de Louis Sullivan. Les fenêtres montent du rebord jusqu'au soffite. Le large avant-toit se projette au-delà des fenêtres du premier étage. La cheminée est longue et basse. La structure est l'ossature de bois typique de la tradition constructive américaine. Un revêtement de briques romaines produit un effet massif qui caractérise la partie inférieure de l'enveloppe comme une solide enceinte implantée sur une substructure (le socle de pierre) et délimitée par un cordon continu sur tout le périmètre, à la hauteur de l'appui des fenêtres du premier étage. Au-dessus du rideau de briques, la bande du revêtement en terre cuite comprise entre le cordon-rebord et le pan du toit, décorée d'un 'pattern' à l'imprimé serré, paraît être une tenture suspendue qui retombe sur ce rideau. L'extérieur fut dessiné le premier, le plan des niveaux s'y est ensuite adapté. À l'arrière de la maison se trouve une étable qui, dans les premières années, avait un arbre qui poussait à travers le toit. Beaucoup d'éléments sont caractéristiques du style de l'architecte. Ils servent à mettre en valeur l'horizontalité de la maison et à en réduire la verticalité au maximum. Le toit est bas et large avec des saillies, alors que l'extérieur est divisé en bandes horizontales. Le second étage est orné de tuiles décoratives, alors que le premier est couvert de briques, plus longues que hautes. De la chaux projetée rehausse la bâtisse dans le paysage. Au centre de la maison est posée la grande cheminée. Tous les éléments préfigurent le mouvement de la Prairie School. Le bâtiment est ajouté à la liste du Registre national des lieux historiques en 1970.

William H. Winslow House

William Herman Winslow Residence is een gebouw van de architect Frank Lloyd Wright in River Forest in de Amerikaanse staat Illinois. Het in 1894 voltooide gebouw, sedert 1970 ingeschreven in de National Register of Historic Places, was de eerst uitgevoerde opdracht van de architect. De oorspronkelijke eigenaar, William Winslow, was een voorbeeld van Wrights klanten in Chicago, die de architect omschreef als "Amerikaanse zakenlieden met onbedorven instincten en idealen". Winslow was fabrikant van decoratief ijzerwerk en werkte later met Wright samen aan een aantal uitgeverijprojecten, met name voor The Eve of St. Agnes (1896) van John Keats, en William C. Gannett's The House Beautiful (1896/97). De mannen werden voor het eerst met elkaar in contact gebracht door Winslow's contacten met Adler en Sullivan, Wright's vroegere werkgevers. William Winslow kende Wright van zaken met Adler en Sullivan. Hij zat in de handel in siersmeedijzer en zijn firma had de gevel van het Carson Pirie Scott gebouw gemaakt voor Wright's vorige werkgever. Adler en Sullivan waren niet geïnteresseerd in het uitvoeren van residentiële architectuuropdrachten, dus wendde Winslow zich tot Wright. Het ontwerp van het huis is geïnspireerd op het werk van Wrights mentor Louis Sullivan en loopt vooruit op Wrights volwassen Prairie School-gebouwen uit het volgende decennium. Beschut onder een laag zadeldak met brede dakranden, is het huis symmetrisch en horizontaal verdeeld in een stenen gedeelte, een goudkleurig Romeins bakstenen gedeelte, en een terra cotta fries met Sullivaneske ornamenten. In tegenstelling tot de rustige en evenwichtige voorgevel, is de achterzijde een massa van onregelmatige geometrische vormen. Het interieur doet denken aan zowel Wrights eigen huis als aan het Charnley House, met de open haard in het midden tegenover de ingang met kamers aan weerszijden en een verborgen hoofdtrap. Het huis werd op 17 april 1970 toegevoegd aan het National Register of Historic Places. In 2016 werd het huis verkocht voor 1,375 miljoen dollar. Het was eigendom geweest van de algemeen directeur van een lokaal televisiestation. Zijn familie had het huis 57 jaar in bezit gehad. Afbeeldingen
Marywood Academy

The Marywood Academy is a historic building located at 2100 Ridge Avenue in Evanston, Illinois. The building was built in 1900 as Visitation Academy to serve as a girls' Catholic school led by the Visitation Sisters. Architect Henry J. Schlacks gave the building a Georgian Revival design that featured a tripartite massing with a base, middle, and cornice; limestone quoins and belt courses; and Doric pilasters and an architrave molding around the entrance. The Sisters of Providence purchased the school in 1915 and renamed it Marywood Academy; the school operated as Marywood Academy until 1970, reaching a peak enrollment of 532 in the 1964–65 school year. The building was later sold to the City of Evanston and served as the city's civic center from 1979 thru March, 2025. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 9, 2006. References
Lamoine Hotel

The Lamoine Hotel is a historic hotel located at 201 North Randolph Street in Macomb, Illinois. The hotel was built in 1926–27 to be the city's first large modern hotel, a necessity for a city with a busy railroad station and a state university. Architects F.E. Berger and R.L. Kelley of Champaign designed the Classical Revival building; it is the tallest building in downtown Macomb and the most prominent Classical Revival building in the city. In addition to hosting visitors to Macomb, the hotel housed several local businesses and hosted community meetings and the Macomb Chamber of Commerce. The hotel was the city's preferred hotel and community meeting place until the 1950s, when the automobile's rise took away the railroad traffic which gave the hotel much of its business. The hotel became an apartment hotel and ultimately closed for good in the following decades; the Macomb Journal later moved into the building's ground floor. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 16, 2010. References
West Water Tower and Ground Storage Tank

The West Water Tower and Ground Storage Tank are a historic water tower and storage tank located at 310 11th Avenue in Orion, Illinois. The tower and tank were built in 1928 as part of the village's new water system, which had been approved the previous year. The water system was introduced both as a response to several fires which had plagued the village and as an effort to bring modern technology and progress, among other civic concerns. The water tower consists of a steel tank with a hemispherical bottom supported by a steel trestle; the structure is 136.5 feet (41.6 m) tall. The ground storage tank, located at the base of the tower, is made of redwood and holds 30,000 US gallons (110,000 L; 25,000 imp gal) of water. The structures were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2003. References
Lincoln Branch Peoria Public Library

The Lincoln Branch Peoria Public Library is a Carnegie library located at 1312 West Lincoln Avenue in Peoria, Illinois. Built in 1910, the building served as the first dedicated library building on Peoria's South Side. The South Side branch library opened in 1903 in a building called the Neighborhood House; however, it had outgrown its space in the building by 1909. The city petitioned the Carnegie Foundation for funding for a new library and the Foundation provided a $20,000 grant for the building. The city passed a $2,000 annual tax to cover the library's maintenance. Peoria architecture firm Hotchkiss & Harris supplied a Classical Revival design for the building, and construction began in 1910 and was completed the following year. The new building was dedicated on June 16, 1911. The library became popular with neighborhood residents, setting city records for daily circulation; it also held special collections serving the city's Lebanese and German immigrant communities. With $500,000 from the Plaedes Foundation, the Lincoln Branch was remodeled in 1993. In June 2009, the library was designated by the City of Peoria as a local historic landmark. The library was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 28, 2014. In 2014, the Peoria Historical Society awarded the library a Historic Preservation Award.

Kickapoo Building

The Kickapoo Building is a historic commercial building located at 726 West Main Street in Peoria, Illinois. Built in 1911, the building was originally used as a tied house for the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, which sought to expand its presence in Peoria's large brewing industry. The two-story building has a flatiron shape, a design which took advantage of its triangular lot. Architect Albert Keifer gave the building a Classical Revival design with German Renaissance Revival features. Flatiron buildings were once commonly built in Peoria as a necessity of the city's geography; while downtown Peoria was built on a grid aligned with the Illinois River, its subsequent additions were usually aligned with the cardinal directions, and extensions of streets from the additions into downtown led to the creation of many triangular lots. The Kickapoo Building's lot was created by three of these streets, Main Street and Glendale Avenue from the original downtown and Knoxville from the boundaries of several later additions; while it was not the first building on its triangular lot, it was the first one to take full advantage of the space. Modern commercial development and freeway construction eliminated many of Peoria's diagonal streets downtown, including Knoxville Avenue itself, and took many of its flatiron buildings with it; the Kickapoo Building stands out among the survivors for its decorative commercial storefronts on all three sides. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 2013. References
T.J. O'Brien Lock and Dam

Thomas J. O'Brien Lock & Dam is a stop lock in the Hegewisch neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago at the confluence of the Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River, which form the Calumet River. It is a component of the Chicago Area Waterway System (CAWS), which is, itself, a part of the Illinois Waterway, which links the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes. The Lock & Dam is named for Thomas J. O’Brien, who was a U.S. Representative for the 6th District of Illinois from 1933 to 1938 and again from 1943 to 1964. Overview The lock and dam are 326 river miles (525 km) from the Mississippi-Illinois confluence. The lock chamber measures 1,000 by 110 feet (305 m × 34 m) with a maximum lift capability of 5 feet (1.5 m). The lock contains a pair of sector gates at either end, which were chosen as they both reduce the cost of engineering and are more conducive to operations in a waterway which can reverse direction. The dam measures 293 feet (89 m) and includes 4 vertical sluice gates. The lock and dam are used to maintain a 9-foot navigation channel, and for flood control purposes, primarily to limit diversion from the lake during normal periods, and mitigation of backflows into Lake Michigan during large storm events which reverse the direction of the river. History Predating the lock and dam was the Blue Island Lock, constructed at the eastern end of the Cal-Sag Channel in 1922. Nearly as soon as its completion, there was already lobbying by various industries along the waterway to expand the size of the lock, which measured 360 by 50 feet (110 m × 15 m). A report by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 1933 proposed, among other things, expanding the size of the lock to 600 by 110 feet (183 m × 34 m) to improve navigation. It would not be until 1946 when Congress would authorize funding for the improvements to the Cal-Sag Channel. The location of the new lock and dam 7 miles (11 km) upstream from the old controlling works at Blue Island was chosen to improve the ability to control backflow events into the lake during heavy storms from the polluting industries along the Grand Calumet River and Little Calumet River and the outfall of the Calumet Water Reclamation Plant. Construction began in 1957, and was completed in 1960. However, the lock portion was not put into operation until July 1, 1965, when the Blue Island Lock was finally decommissioned.

Skokie Public Library

Skokie Public Library has been serving the community of Skokie, Illinois since 1930. History The library was first organized in July 1929 by the Cosmos Club of Niles Center, one of two Woman's Clubs in Niles Center at the time. The library first opened its doors in February 1930 in rented rooms at the corner of Oakton Street and Lincoln Avenue. It operated on book donations and volunteer staff. The library was open for 10 hours a week and had a materials collection of 1,000 books. In 1941, voters approved a tax-supported library which brought Skokie Public Library, formerly the Niles Center Free Public Library, reliable funding. In April 1933, the library re-opened in remodeled space in the Municipal Building with a collection of 3,000 volumes and 900 borrower's cards. The library was still funded by fundraising and donations at the time, but in 1934, the Village gave the library a small appropriation to the Cosmos Club to hire a part-time librarian. The first full-time librarian was hired in 1937. In March 1942, the library re-opened at 4913 Oakton Street. The building was divided in half with the other half occupied by the United States Post Office. The library expanded to fill the entire building when the United States Post Office moved to a new location in 1952. It wasn't until 1960 that the library got its permanent home at 5215 Oakton Street, right across from Village Hall. The building was designed by Gertrude Lempp Kerbis of Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill. In 1971, a building expansion, designed by architecture firm Hammond & Roesch, expanded the building's footprint to the east and added a second floor to the library. In 2003, another major renovation designed by Robert D. Hunter of O'Donnell, Wicklund, Pigozzi & Peterson brought the third floor. With Andrew Berman Architect, the library completed an interior renovation project in 2021. This renovation modernized the first and second floors. In 2020, Skokie Public Library went fine free. Branches Skokie Public Library's main branch is located in downtown Skokie. Its mobile branch, the bookmobile, had its first ride in 1957. The bookmobile originally traveled to 8 destinations in Skokie; it has since expanded to 16 stops. The artwork on the bookmobile is by local artist, Jay Ryan. Accolades The library has received numerous awards and special recognition throughout the years. The library has received a five-star ranking from Library Journal, and was the first public library in Illinois to be awarded the National Medal for Museum and Library Service in 2008. In 1960, the library won the Chicago Municipal Art League award for excellence in architecture. In 1963, the library was the recipient of the American Institute of Architects and the American Librarian Association First Honor Award for Library Buildings. In 1982, Skokie Public Library was depicted in a cachet by Skokie artist Doris Gold for the "Libraries of America" commemorative postage stamp issued by the U.S. Postal Service.

Kenilworth Club

The Kenilworth Assembly Hall is a historic clubhouse located at 410 Kenilworth Avenue in Kenilworth, Illinois. The clubhouse was built in 1907 as a social club for the wealthy Chicago suburb. Resident and noted Prairie School architect George W. Maher designed the building. His design represents a transitional stage in his work; it was his last building to feature a significant horizontal emphasis, and it includes several early hints at style elements he later became known for. The windows are arranged in groups of three, which was typical of Maher's later works, and a stem-and-square motif used in several external elements evokes the signature thistle patterns he introduced the next year. The horizontal elements, which include the broad eaves and wall paneling, exhibit Maher's difficulties with the horizontal form of the Prairie School and were called "unsatisfactory" by architectural historian Carl W. Condit. The clubhouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 21, 1979. The Kenilworth Club donated the Kenilworth Assembly Hall to the Kenilworth Park District on August 1, 2016. References
Kenilworth Club

Il Kenilworth Club, situato al numero 10 di Kenilworth Avenue, a Kenilworth, nella Contea di Cook, Illinois, è un edificio progettato nel 1907 dall'architetto George Washington Maher, uno dei principali esponenti della Prairie School . Storia e Architettura Progettato come club sociale per la comunità locale, il Kenilworth Club è considerato un esempio maturo della "teoria del ritmo dei motivi decorativi" di Maher, che prevedeva l'uso di elementi decorativi ricorrenti per creare un'armonia estetica . L'edificio presenta uno stile tipicamente Prairie, caratterizzato da linee orizzontali, colori terrosi e una struttura che sembra abbracciare il terreno. Un elemento distintivo è l'uso di vetri artistici, progettati per integrarsi con il paesaggio naturale circostante e realizzati a Chicago . Il Kenilworth Club è stato ampliato nel 1913-1914, sempre su progetto di Maher, con l'aggiunta di un pergolato costruito attorno a un olmo preesistente, enfatizzando la connessione tra architettura e natura . Importanza e Riconoscimenti L'edificio è stato riconosciuto come uno dei capolavori di Maher e un importante esempio di architettura Prairie School . Nonostante Maher non abbia raggiunto la fama di Frank Lloyd Wright, il suo contributo è considerato significativo, tanto che Kenilworth è stata definita "la Oak Park di George W. Maher". Il Kenilworth Club è incluso nel Registro Nazionale dei Luoghi Storici degli Stati Uniti ed è stato oggetto di un'importante opera di restauro nei primi anni 2000, che ha incluso l'applicazione di colori storici e il ripristino delle sue caratteristiche originali . Utilizzo e Conservazione Attualmente noto come Kenilworth Assembly Hall, l'edificio continua a servire la comunità come spazio per eventi civici e privati. Le entrate derivano da affitti, eventi e iscrizioni al club, che contribuiscono a coprire i costi operativi e le elevate imposte fondiarie . Il restauro e la manutenzione dell'edificio dipendono anche dall'apprezzamento della sua bellezza architettonica e del suo valore storico. Eventi come le conferenze di storici locali, tra cui quella di Bill Hinchliff, mirano a sensibilizzare la comunità sull'importanza del Kenilworth Club e di altre opere di Maher presenti in città . Opere Correlate di Maher a Kenilworth Oltre al Kenilworth Club, Maher ha contribuito al progetto urbano di Kenilworth con la creazione di fontane, ponti e altri elementi decorativi . Tra questi spicca una grande fontana progettata all'estremità occidentale di Kenilworth Avenue, che fungeva da elemento di accoglienza tra la stazione ferroviaria e l'Assembly Hall . Delle circa 40 costruzioni di Maher originariamente presenti a Kenilworth, ne rimangono 38, rendendo questa cittadina un'importante testimonianza dell'opera dell'architetto .
