White Oaks Mall (Springfield, Illinois)

White Oaks Mall is a shopping mall in Springfield, Illinois, United States. It is located on the southwest side of Springfield, approximately five miles (8 km) southwest of the city center, at the junction of Illinois Route 4 (Veterans Parkway) and Wabash Avenue. With 928,772 square feet (86,285.7 m2) of retail space, it is the largest shopping mall in Central Illinois. The mall is anchored by Malibu Jack’s, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Junior anchors in the former Montgomery Ward anchor building are Michaels, and Esporta Fitness. The mall's former Sears anchor store was remodeled in 2025 as state government offices. History Construction began in 1974. The original planned name of the mall was Westroads Mall. Ed McMahon and Billy Carter attended the grand opening, on August 24, 1977. The four original anchor stores were Sears, Montgomery Ward, Famous-Barr and Myers Brothers. Myers Brothers was bought by Bergner's in 1978 and the store was rebranded in 1983. In the early 1990s, it underwent a $14 million renovation which included the addition of a new food court. A carousel was installed in 1997. White Oaks Mall houses over 100 stores. Its operator, the Simon Property Group, which owns 80.7% of the mall, describes White Oaks Mall as a "super-regional shopping mall". The mall shares its name with the White Oak, the state tree of Illinois. White Oaks Mall has a children's play area. The Children's Place and Carter's specialize in juvenile clothing. In 2001, the Montgomery Ward anchor store closed, after the chain went out of business. In 2006, all Famous-Barr stores were rebranded as Macy's. In July 2018, the Bergner's anchor store closed when the parent company, Bon Ton, went out of business. In September 2018, the Sears anchor store closed as part of a plan to close 78 stores nationwide. This left Macy's as the only traditional anchor store. In 2020, the Illinois Department of Central Management Services, the custodian of Illinois state government real estate, purchased the 120,000 sq ft Sears anchor store, to be remodeled as office space for the Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and Illinois Pollution Control Board. In January 2025, after $80 million in remodeling work, the Illinois EPA moved into the building. After Bergner’s closed, the space was replaced with an entertainment facility known as Malibu Jack’s in 2023. Malibu Jack’s has since become the primary anchor tenant for the space. On January 9, 2025, it was announced that Macy's store would close as part of a plan to close 66 stores nationwide. The store closed in March 2025, leaving the mall with no traditional anchors but with non-traditional anchor tenants with more of a focus on entertainment and office space.

Wicker Park (Chicago park)

Wicker Park is a 4.03-acre (1.63 ha) public urban park in the Wicker Park neighborhood of the West Town community and West Side district, in Chicago, Illinois. It is named after Charles G. Wicker and Joel H. Wicker. History In late 1868, the Chicago Board of Public Works announced the desire to build a park "lying west of Milwaukee Avenue and south of North Avenue. The grounds are of considerable capacity and are laid out in a tasteful and attractive manner as a park." Present at the meeting was alderman Charles G. Wicker, who, with his brother Joel H. Wicker, purchased a 4-acre (16,000 m2) parcel of land to the City of Chicago in 1870. The City of Chicago installed a small reservoir inside the triangular park. At the end of the 19th century, the neighborhood around the park was subsumed into the surrounding Polish Downtown, and the area immediately surrounding the park became known as "the Polish Gold Coast". In 1890, the West Park Commission filled in the reservoir and replaced it with lawn. Several years later a cut-granite fountain was installed. In 1908, the fountain was replaced with a wading pool and additional trees were planted in the park. In 1934, the West Park Commission was consolidated into the Chicago Park District. The Chicago Park District installed a fieldhouse on the site in 1985. Community gardens Wicker Park contains approximately 10,000 square feet of ornamental community gardens. The gardens were designed, funded and are maintained by volunteers from the Wicker Park Garden Club in cooperation with the Chicago Park District’s Community Gardens in the Parks program. Memorials and historical markers A statue of Charles Gustavus Wicker, the park's namesake, sweeping with a broom can be found on the west side of the park; the statue was designed by Wicker's great-granddaughter, Nancy Deborah Wicker-Eilan. Another marker in a garden just west of the fieldhouse honors Ignacy Jan Paderewski, who resided in the Wicker Park neighborhood during World War I and later served as Prime Minister of Poland. A third marker describes the history of the park's fountain. Facilities The dog-friendly park includes areas for baseball, gyms, a spraypool, a water playground, and a walking path.

Wicker Park (parc de Chicago)

Wicker Park est un parc de 1,6 hectare (4.03 acres) de la ville de Chicago (Illinois) qui se trouve entre North Damen Avenue à l'ouest, West Schiller Street au sud, et West Wicker Park Avenue au nord et à l'est. Description Ce petit parc de forme triangulaire est situé à Wicker Park, un quartier se trouvant dans le secteur communautaire de West Town à Chicago, dans l'État de l'Illinois. Il a été nommé d'après Charles G. Wicker and Joel H. Wicker. Comme pour la plupart des parcs et espaces verts de Chicago, Wicker Park est entretenu par le Chicago Park District. Historique À la fin de l'année 1868, le Chicago Department of Publics Works eut le désir de construire un grand espace vert situé entre Milwaukee Avenue à l'ouest et North Avenue au sud. Présents lors d'une réunion du conseil municipal de Chicago en 1869, Charles G. Wicker et son frère Joel H. Wicker soumettent la proposition d'acheter une parcelle de terrain à la ville de Chicago pour le convertir en parc attrayant pour les habitants du quartier. Cette proposition des frères Wicker fut refusée en 1870. Cependant, la ville de Chicago accepta que les Wicker participent dans les plans de conception du parc et au financement de sa construction. La ville de Chicago finança l'installation d'un petit réservoir d'eau à l'intérieur du parc. À la fin du XIXe siècle, le quartier de Wicker Park dans lequel se trouve le parc a été intégré dans ce qui est aujourd'hui connu comme étant le Polish Downtown, une zone géographique comprenant une grande communauté polonaise, et la zone immédiate entourant le parc est désormais connue comme étant la « Polish Gold Coast » (littéralement la « Côte d'or polonaise »). En 1890, la Commission de West Park remplaça le réservoir par une pelouse. Plusieurs années plus tard une fontaine en granite fut installée. En 1908, d'importants travaux sont lancés, le bac de la fontaine est notamment agrandi et de nouveaux arbres sont plantés tout autour et à l'intérieur du parc. En 1934, la Commission de West Park a été consolidée dans le Chicago Park District. En 1985, le Chicago Park District installa de nouveaux aménagements. Équipements Le parc comprend en son sein des terrains de baseball, des promenades arborées, des espaces avec des équipements pour faire de la gym et un réservoir d'eau (dont l'accès au public est réservé en été) avec des jeux aquatiques dont un château gonflable. Il y a également dans le parc un espace qui est réservé aux chiens. Notes et références Articles connexes Parcs à Chicago Wicker Park Portail des espaces verts Portail de Chicago

William A. Glasner House

The William A. Glasner House is a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Prairie School home in Glencoe, Illinois, United States, in 1905. Glasner led his sister, Emma Pettit, to Wright to design the Pettit Memorial Chapel as a memorial to her deceased husband, Dr. William H. Pettit. After the house was threatened with demolition by a real estate developer, the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy helped locate a conservation-minded buyer who ultimately purchased the house. It is a 4,300-square-foot (400 m2), four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on a 1-acre (0.40 ha) lot. Jack Reed bought the house in 2003 for $1.5 million and spent $2.5 million restoring it.

William Beith House

The William Beith House, now known as the Beith House Museum, is a Registered Historic Place located at 8 Indiana Street in St. Charles, Il. It largely retains its original riverstone exterior, while many other local structures have been significantly altered or covered in stucco. History William Beith immigrated from Scotland in 1843. Beith became a prominent local builder in Kane County, Illinois, who built this house from 1845 to 1850 for his family. The William Beith House is notable as one of the only riverstone houses of the 1850s remaining in St. Charles. The Preservation Partners of the Fox Valley rescued the house in 1980 and restored it to operate as a museum of house preservation. Exhibits show mid-19th century decorative arts, and the techniques used to restore the interior features and exterior structure. The United States Department of the Interior recognized the house as a Historic Place on December 7, 1983. The home serves as the headquarters for Preservation Partners. Architecture The house is a simple two-story Greek Revival design. The main door is on the east side, facing the Fox River. It is on the left side of the exterior, and is surrounded by windows to the right and above. The southern exposure has two windows on each floor, and the north side has one window on each floor. The west side also has two windows per floor. Two additional windows also originally adorned the main structure, but since have been filled in with brick. A small, one-story attachment was added at the time of original construction and also has an east-facing entrance. The entrance hall (on the southeast) contains the main staircase with walnut railings, spindles, and newel post. The parlor room is to the right, a bedroom to the rear, and two other bedrooms to the west. The kitchen is in the one-story attachment. The second story entry hall links to three bedrooms (the center bedroom now functions as a bathroom). A basement holds a large brick cistern and a bricked-in opening. It is thought that this may have been a tunnel from the river to serve on the Underground Railroad; Beith was a noted local abolitionist.
