Continental and Commercial National Bank

The Continental and Commercial National Bank is a historic office building located at 208 S. LaSalle Street in Chicago's Loop. The 21-story building was built in 1911–1914 for the Continental and Commercial National Bank, at the time one of the largest banks in the nation. Architect Daniel Burnham designed the building in the Classical Revival style; Burnham, who was perhaps best known for his 1909 plan of Chicago, was a proponent of the style and used it in office buildings in multiple cities. The building's main entrance features a three-story colonnade with eight Doric columns; the eighteenth through the twentieth floors feature a matching colonnade, which forms the building's capital. A frieze and belt course separate the fourth and seventeenth floors from the shaft of the building, giving the building a small amount of horizontal emphasis. An open court occupies the center of the building, allowing natural light to reach its interior offices. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 14, 2007. The JW Marriott Chicago opened on the building’s first 12 floors in 2010. The LaSalle Chicago hotel opened in the building in 2022. Prior to merging with the Continental National Bank to form the Continental and Commercial Nation Bank, the Commercial National Bank was previously located in the now landmark Commercial National Bank Building.

Континентальный и коммерческий национальный банк

Континентальный и коммерческий национальный банк (англ. Continental and Commercial National Bank) — историческое офисное здание в городе Чикаго, расположенное по адресу ЛаСаль-стрит, 208 в историческом деловом центральном районе Чикаго-Луп. 21-этажное строение было возведено в 1911—1914 годах для Континентального и коммерческого национального банка, в то время бывшего одним из крупнейших банков в США. Оно было построено в неоклассическом стиле по проекту архитектора Даниела Бёрнема. Бёрнем, наиболее прославившийся своим планом развития Чикаго 1909 года, был поклонником этого стиля и использовал его при проектировании офисных зданий во множестве американских городов. Главный вход в здание Континентального и коммерческого национального банка представляет собой трёхэтажную колоннаду с восемью дорическими колоннами. Подобная же колоннада, занимающая внешнюю часть здания с 18-й по 20-й этажи, образует капитель. Фриз и тяга выделяют 4-й и 17-й этажи из ствола здания, придавая таким образом устремлённому вверх зданию и некоторое горизонтальное выражение. Открытый двор, занимающий центр здания, позволяет естественному свету проникать во внутренние помещения здания. 14 февраля 2007 года здание Континентального и коммерческого национального банка было внесено в Национальный реестр исторических мест США. До своего объединения с Континентальным национальным банком и образования Континентального и коммерческого национального банка Коммерческий национальный банк располагался в строении, ныне известном как здание Коммерческого национального банка.

Bessemer Park

Bessemer Park is a public park in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Created in 1904, it was named for Henry Bessemer, the inventor of the eponymous steelmaking process. The name is appropriate, since Chicago's most productive steel mill, the U.S. Steel South Works, was located just a mile away. The park was created by the South Park Commission as part of a new neighborhood park system in Chicago. Living conditions for immigrants in search of the "American dream" had become intolerable because of overcrowding. Most people didn't own cars. Other parks were too far away. Park superintendent J. Frank Foster conceived a new type of parkland for population-dense areas—parks providing "breathing spaces" and a host of other amenities, from public bathing to organized recreation. The Olmsted Brothers and the architects Daniel H. Burnham and Co. were engaged to design the entire park system, including Bessemer Park. Bessemer Park has a nature garden planted with a wide variety of native flowering trees, shrubs and forbs. References
One Chicago (building)

One Chicago (formerly One Chicago Square) is a skyscraper development in the River North neighborhood of Chicago. It features two towers; one tower reaching 971ft and the other tower reaching 574ft. It is among the tallest buildings in Chicago. History The building's site previously held a parking lot owned by the Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago. The Archdiocese began seeking a development partner to build a structure on the site through real estate-focused investment bank Eastdil in 2016. The development was approved by the Chicago Plan Commission in 2018. The building topped out in 2021. In April 2019, the developer JDL announced that the project name was changed from "One Chicago Square" to "One Chicago" to better connect the property to its address of 1 West Chicago Avenue. Design Goettsch Partners and Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture designed the buildings. The complex contains two towers connected by a central podium. When completed, the taller of the two towers was to be the eighth-tallest structure in Chicago with an anticipated 78 stories, although a final height was determined and a spire may have been added to the design. Usage The project is a mixed-use development, though primarily residential, with 812 residential units. Planned retail tenants for the podium of the two towers include a Whole Foods Market and Life Time luxury athletic resort, as well as an upscale restaurant and an event center catered toward receptions for weddings at Holy Name Cathedral. The building contains 735 apartments, 77 condominiums, 55,000 sq ft of office space, 188,000 sq ft of retail space, and a Life Time Fitness center.

Beth Shalom B'nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation

Beth Shalom B'nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation, more commonly known as Beth Shalom B'Nai Zaken EHC, or simply Beth Shalom, abbreviated as BSBZ EHC, is a Black Hebrew Israelite congregation and synagogue, located at 6601 South Kedzie Avenue, in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. The synagogue is led by Rabbi Capers Funnye, the Chief Rabbi of the International Israelite Board of Rabbis, and assistant rabbis are Avraham Ben Israel and Joshua V. Salter. Beth Shalom is affiliated with the International Israelite Board of Rabbis. History The congregation was started by Rabbi Horace Hasan from Bombay, India, in 1918 as the Ethiopian Hebrew Settlement Workers Association, and was influenced by Wentworth Arthur Matthew's Commandment Keepers. In 2021, Tamar Manasseh became the first woman ordained as a rabbi at the synagogue; she was ordained by Rabbi Capers Funnye, the leader of the synagogue and the Chief Rabbi of the International Israelite Board of Rabbis. Overview The congregation has approximately 200 members, the majority of whom are African American. Along with African-Americans, members include Hispanic Jews and Ashkenazi Jews, as well as former Christians and Muslims. As is traditional with Judaism, they do not seek converts, and members must study Judaism for a year before undergoing a traditional conversion requiring men to be ritually circumcised and women to undergo ritual immersion in a mikvah. The congregation has been described as being "somewhere between Conservative and Modern Orthodox" with distinctive African-American influences; while men and women sit separately as in Orthodox synagogues, a choir sings spirituals to the beat of a drum. It follows traditional Jewish liturgy and laws, including Sabbath and "a modified version of kosher dietary laws". The congregation is currently housed in a previously existing synagogue purchased from the Lawn Manor Hebrew Congregation, a Conservative temple of Ashkenazi Lithuanian Jews at West 66th Street and South Kedzie Avenue in the Marquette Park neighborhood on Chicago's South Side.
