Passing of Old Hotel

House Built in Waterfall

In the deep shade of the wooded
cliffs beneath the Pizzo di Torno, lies
villa. This is the Villa Pliniana
built in 1870 by the Count Anguissola
Of PiacenZa, and now the property OF
the Trotti family of Milan.
The place takes its name from an
intermittent spring in the court
which is supposed to be the one de.
scribed by Pliny in one of his letters,
and it is further celebrated as being
the coolest villa on Como.
1t lies on a small bay on the east
side of the lake, and faces due north,
so that, while the villas of Cernobbio
are bathed in sunlight, a deep green
shade envelops it.
The house stands on narrow
ledge, its foundations projecting into
the lake, and it's back built against
the almost vertical wooded cliff,
which protects it from the southern
sun.
Down this cliff pours a foaming
mountain torrent from the Val di Ca
lore, just beneath the peak of Torno.

Villa Pliniana has captured in it's

Homesick for Old Halsted
Ballad of Bubbly Creek
A Ballad of Bubbly Creek.

No matter where you wander, you may

You'll be homesick for the city as the
ocean claims sea shell:
Bubbly Creek looms on your vision, you
can smell IL for a mile.
And the fragrance OF the stock yards
knocks you dizzy for awhile.
And the twenty storied buildings seem to
scrape the sapphire sky.
And the saucy tug boats darling as the
Swimming swallows fly;
And the high bridge spans the river lift
ing up its naughty head,
And the foaming current snarling with
its cargo Of the dead
Bubbly Creek. what memories cluster
round thy followed fragrant name.
Bubbly Creek is bright emblazoned on
the starry scroll of Fame,
Bubbly Creek where oft / wandered as
a restless barefoot boy.
Swimming in the murky waters. oh, what
fierce and soothing JOY!
Take me back to old Chicago far across
the sundering spray,
Harbor lights of home are cleaning. there
our soft-eyed sweethearts stay:

lures me to her side
Take me back to Old Chicago far across
