Historic Greystone at 1463 Berwyn Avenue Saved!
Preservation Chicago Month-In-Review Newsletter October 2017 Historic Greystone at 1463 Berwyn Avenue Saved! 1436 W. Berwyn Avenue, Photo Credit Redfin UPDATE: The intense, sustained and widespread opposition to the planned demolition and redevelopment of the historic greystone at 1436 W. Berwyn Avenue has yielded a likely victory. The historic greystone at 1436 W. Berwyn Avenue is under contract to a new preservation-sensitive buyer who has plans to deconvert the two flat to a single family home and to restore its historic features. Additionally, the landscaped side yard and mature elm tree will be preserved. The sale of this historic property removes the property from the immediate threat posed by development plans to build out the site and create six-unit building with elements of the historic façade incorporated into the new construction. Without any historic landmark district protections and with existing zoning that allowed for a much larger, more dense building as-of-right, the path to a preservation outcome was highly unlikely. However, the extraordinary rapid response preservation advocacy efforts of Kathy Klink-Flores of the Lakewood Balmoral Residents Council, the East Andersonville Residents Council (EARC), Maureen Murnane of the Lakewood Balmoral Residents Council, and other community members and community organizations, which included well-attended public meetings, a petition drive, and other community organizing efforts deserves much of credit for this excellent preservation outcome. Page 1 of 38 Preservation Chicago Month-In-Review Newsletter October 2017 Preservation Chicago applauds the consistent support and leadership of 48th Ward Alderman Harry Osterman who played an important role in the preservation effort and outcome. -
The Early Chicago Tall Office Building: Artistically and Functionally Considered
148 Kristen Schaffer The Early Chicago Tall Office Building: Artistically and Functionally Considered ity. New York was closer to Europe both geographically and culturally, and the influence of European architectural pref- erences was greater there. Chicago expressed itself through its architecture as being more pragmatic and less historical than that of New York, a bit tougher, and, especially in these early years, more in tune with the economic demands of modernity. In this context it is necessary to observe the difference between modernity and modernism. Modernity refers to the industrial revolution, the changes in the means of produc- tion, and the harnessing of new forms of energy, as well as the dislocations and economic restructuring that caused great social changes. The effects of the industrial revo- lution were exaggerated in the United States by the its rapid development, its great numbers of immigrants, and its seemingly unlimited resources. This contributed to rap- idly growing Chicago and to the development of the tall office building, especially the speculative building which was expected to produce revenue. Modernism, on the other hand (as in “international style modernism”), was an aes- thetic sensibility of philosophical, intellectual, and artistic origins. The tall office building did not originate as a work of art, but as a response to economic pressure and rising land val- ues caused by expanding business and population. In the years of rebuilding after the great fire of 1871, the Loop (or business district) became more purely commercial, but its area was limited by Lake Michigan on the east, branches of the Chicago River on the north and west, and a bulwark of railroad yards on the south. -
