[Wikipedia] Marquette Building (Chicago)
The Marquette Building, completed in 1895, is a Chicago landmark that was built by the George A. Fuller Company and designed by architects Holabird & Roche. The building is currently owned by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. It is located in the community area known as the Loop in Cook County, Illinois, United States.
The building was one of the early steel frame skyscrapers of its day, and is considered one of the best examples of the Chicago School of architecture. The building originally had a reddish, terra cotta exterior that is now somewhat blackened due to decades of Loop soot. It is noted both for its then cutting edge frame and its ornate interior.
Since construction, the building has received numerous awards and honors. It was designated a Chicago Landmark on June 9, 1975, and is considered an architectural masterpiece. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 17, 1973 and named a National Historic Landmark on January 7, 1976. The building's preservation has been a major focus of the Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois. The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation completed an extensive four-year restoration in 2006.

I'd just read about these Tiffany glass mosaics that decorated the lobby of the 19th century Marquette Building in downtown 140 S. Dearborn Chicago. They looked gorgeous so I'd planned to go downtown and check them out. As it turned out this past weekend this National landmark and another 100+ architecturally significant sites were part of an open house so here was my chance.
They were magnificent and I took videos of each panel and am uploading them here. They are the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany and J.A.Holzer... Holzer was chief designer for the Tiffany glass Company. These mosaics are composed solely of mother of pearl and Favrile glass. They depict moments in the life and death of Father Jacques Marquette. Who was the Chicago areas first non native resident when in 1674-75, he wintered in the area.

A National Historic Landmark: Marquette Building
The Marquette Building was constructed in 1894-1895 by renown Architects William Holabird and Martin Roche who designed a 16-story high rise structure classified today as a masterpiece of the Chicago School of Architecture during the Victorian Golden Age, at the turn-of-the-century. Owen Aldis was a real estate developer who managed the planning and construction of The Marquette Building and inspired the Rotunda Mosaic for Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet accompanied by Native American Indians based upon his faithful historic translation of the Jesuit priest's original journal in 1891.
Chicago Skyscrapers, 1871-1934, by Thomas Leslie
For more than a century, Chicago's skyline has included some of the world's most distinctive and inspiring buildings. This history of the Windy City's skyscrapers begins in the key period of reconstruction after the Great Fire of 1871 and concludes in 1934 with the onset of the Great Depression, which brought architectural progress to a standstill. During this time, such iconic landmarks as the Chicago Tribune Tower, the Wrigley Building, the Marshall Field and Company Building, the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Palmolive Building, and many others rose to impressive new heights, thanks to innovations in building methods and materials. Solid, earthbound edifices of iron, brick, and stone made way for towers of steel and plate glass, imparting a striking new look to Chicago's growing urban landscape.
Thomas Leslie reveals the daily struggles, technical breakthroughs, and negotiations that produced these magnificent buildings. The book includes detailed analyses of how foundation materials, framing structures, and electric lighting developed throughout the years, showing how the skeletal frames of the Rookery, Ludington, and Leiter Buildings led to the braced frames of the Masonic Temple and Schiller Building and eventually to the concealed frames of the City Opera, Merchandise Mart, and other Chicago landmarks. Leslie also considers how the city's infamous political climate contributed to its architecture, as building and zoning codes were often disputed by shifting networks of rivals, labor unions, professional organizations, and municipal bodies.
Featuring more than a hundred photographs and illustrations of the city's physically impressive and beautifully diverse architecture, Chicago Skyscrapers, 1871--1934 shows how during these decades, Chicago's architects, engineers, and builders learned from one another's successes and failures to create an exceptionally dynamic, energetic period of architectural progress.
Thomas Leslie, AIA, is the Pickard Chilton Professor of Architecture at Iowa State University.

EPA: Historic International Harvester site identified as source of lead in Chicago back yards
Paul Roush of the EPA explains to a town hall meeting in Spanish and in English how investigators identified the historic site of the original McCormick Reaper Works, later International Harvester, as the source of lead contamination in the soil around the Pilsen neighborhood on the west side of Chicago.
McCormick Works of International Harvester Co., c.1910
~Environmental Protection Agency is asking owners of over 100 properties in a portion of the Pilsen neighborhood for permission to take samples in their yards and gardens for lead-contaminated soil.
~EPA has been investigating lead contamination in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood since 2011, when it became involved with a cleanup at the former Loewenthal Smelter. Residents requested additional investigation into potential lead contamination given the area’s long industrial history.

Clark attended Bradley University in Peoria Illinois where he majored in Political Science and Economics. Upon graduation Clark moved to Chicago and had several jobs. There he met Kathryne Merkle Lambros, his former wife of 12 years and moved to Marquette, Michigan.
Clark was a true renaissance man. He had great talent in many areas and loved life. Clark was an avid golfer, starting the sport at the age of 30. He was a member of the MGCC for 50 years and member of the Longboat Key Club in Longboat Key Florida where he was Club Champion.
Clark loved to discuss politics, play the piano, cook, negotiate business deals, spend time on the beach, help his family and most importantly, make everyone laugh and smile.

Clark's community service included being a founding member of the NMU Golden Wildcats, YMCA building Committee Chair, Greek Orthodox Church of the Assumption Board Member, Players Club Condominium Building Committee, Paul Harris Fellow and more.
Clark was a very successful businessman. He purchased Bimbo's Pizza in 1961, now know as Vango's. He named the restaurant after his father, Evangelos Lambropolus. Vango's is the oldest restaurant in Marquette. Clark revived the Presque Isle ice cream store and was the driving force behind the pavilion next to the store.
Clark was very proud of his ability to give back to the community that has supported him for all these years.

Chicago's Michigan Ave. 1931 and 2015
Over the winter I found a public domain clip at archive.org called Looping The Loop it was a home movie someone made in 1931 of their trip to Chicago. One of the scenes was a panning shot looking down Michigan Ave. from across the street from the library Cultural Center (which was the library back then). It was a neat shot.
Earlier this week I was enjoying an early Spring day by prowling the city to see what I could see. I was a couple of blocks from Michigan Ave. when I remembered the clip and thought it would be neat to get an updated shot from around the same spot and put the two together. So I did and here it is. The music is an Albert Amonds number from the 1930's called Chicago In Mind.

Madison, the capital city of Wisconsin, lies west of Milwaukee. It’s known for the domed Wisconsin State Capitol, which sits on an isthmus between lakes Mendota and Monona. The Wisconsin Historical Museum documents the state’s immigrant and farming history. The city's paved Capital City State Trail runs past Monona Terrace, a lakefront convention center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Madison is located in the center of Dane County in south-central Wisconsin, 77 miles (124 km) west of Milwaukee and 122 miles (196 km) northwest of Chicago. The city completely surrounds the smaller Town of Madison, the City of Monona, and the villages of Maple Bluff and Shorewood Hills. Madison shares borders with its largest suburb, Sun Prairie, and three other suburbs, Middleton, McFarland, and Fitchburg. The city's boundaries also approach the city of Verona and the villages of Cottage Grove, DeForest, and Waunakee.
The city is sometimes described as The City of Four Lakes, comprising the four successive lakes of the Yahara River: Lake Mendota (Fourth Lake), Lake Monona (Third Lake), Lake Waubesa (Second Lake) and Lake Kegonsa (First Lake), although Waubesa and Kegonsa are not actually in Madison, but just south of it. A fifth smaller lake, Lake Wingra, is within the city as well; it is connected to the Yahara River chain by Wingra Creek. The Yahara flows into the Rock River, which flows into the Mississippi River. Downtown Madison is located on an isthmus between Lakes Mendota and Monona. The city's trademark of Lake, City, Lake reflects this geography.
Local identity varies throughout Madison, with over 120 officially recognized neighborhood associations, such as the east side Williamson-Marquette Neighborhood. Neighborhoods on and near the eastern part of the isthmus, some of the city's oldest, have the strongest sense of identity and are the most politically liberal. Historically, the north, east, and south sides were blue collar while the west side was white collar, and to a certain extent this remains true. Students dominate on the University of Wisconsin campus and to the east into downtown, while to its south and in Shorewood Hills on its west, faculty have been a major presence since those neighborhoods were originally developed. The turning point in Madison's development was the university's 1954 decision to develop its experimental farm on the western edge of town; since then, the city has grown substantially along suburban lines.

Chicago Native Americans and Fort Dearborn Massacre History (1805)
Chicago Native Americans and Fort Dearborn Massacre history is discussed in this latest episode largely because it was requested by one of our fellow subscribers. Dave from AmericanCoinHunting has asked us to do a video about Native American history in the Chicago / NW Indiana region in the early 1800s. In the video we explore and examine a vintage map of the great lakes region that details a few Native American Tribal Locations. We also discuss historical how Chicago's name eminated from a mixture of Native American and french dialect. We also discuss the history of the Potawatomi tribe in the area. Also we discuss the Fort Deaborn Massacre! So absolutely a great historical episode with tons of information!
