Preservation Chicago Unveils the 2020 Chicago 7 Most Endangered... Chicago Union Station Power House © Eric Allix Rogers OVERVIEW Chicago was once the railroad center of the nation, linked to a net- work of substantial passenger and freight railroads, many criss- crossing the country through our city, and often terminating at one of the great railway stations. These railroad structures, termi- nals, power plants, office buildings and stations at one time dotted downtown Chicago and its perimeter. Since the 1970s, many of these buildings have been lost to demolition. With those losses, our City’s strong connection to the railroads, and its shared histo- ry, has been almost completely obliterated. The iconic and austere, Chicago Union Station Power House is truly a significant building, worthy of preservation, protections 38 Preservation Chicago Chicago 7: Chicago Union Station Power House Chicago Union Station Power House © Serhii Chrucky 2020 Chicago 7 Most Endangered 39 Chicago 7: Chicago Union Station Power House Chicago Union Station Power House © Eric Allix Rogers and reuse, with its streamlined Art Moderne/Art Deco facades and smokestacks. The building exemplifies the story of Chicago’s growth as a railroad and transportation center beginning in the pioneering days of the 1850s. The Union Station Power House, also known originally as the Union Station Boiler Plant, is part of a network of buildings, systems, and rail tracks constructed in the 1920s and 1930s by the architectural firm of Graham, Ander- son, Probst & White for the Chicago Union Station Company – CUSCo. Their work also included Chicago’s Union Station, its Great Hall and grand Waiting Room, along with the separate and expansive Beaux-Arts Concourse Building, which was senselessly demolished in 1969.

Ancient Environments Revealed in Chicagoland's Architecture
Ancient Environments Revealed in Chicagoland’s Architecture Raymond Wiggers Beach Park, Illinois Abstract The architecture of Chicago’s greater metropolitan region– everything from its soaring, world-famous skyscrapers in the Loop to humbler and more utilitarian buildings in the suburban and rural collar counties – contains fascinating and often underexplored connections to long-vanished landscapes and seafloors of Illinois, with a historical record stretching back almost half a billion years. These connections are most abundantly displayed in local materials extracted from the region’s commercial quarries, clay pits, streambeds, and farm fields and then used as structure-supporting and ornamental cladding materials for Chicagoland’s buildings. But locally derived sediments and stonework are not the only links to ancient landscapes and environments. A diverse selection of public and private structures are also adorned with exotic stonework from distant quarries on this and other continents. Ironically, it is the built environment of northeastern Illinois and southeastern Wisconsin that gives us the broadest prospect onto the grand procession of geologic time and evolving natural environments. Introduction Chicagoland is many things to many people, but one unassailable source of regional pride is its fame as a locus of world-class architectural artistry and civil-engineering achievement. While the significance of buildings in this urban area has been extensively discussed in terms of the last two centuries of human history–what many Earth scientists now refer to as the Anthropocene Epoch (Zalasiewicz et al.)–the ornament and structural materials employed in these buildings in fact provide a much deeper historical narrative stretching back not just centuries, but thousands to billions of years, and not just through the latest geologic epoch, but far beyond into much earlier periods and even eons.
