One long-t.ime Hyde Parker speculated that Cornell had made his purchase from the Illinois Central Railroad, which had very recently begun operations along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. Yet, since Cornell had negotiated with the ICRR for the constmction of station at 53rd Street, it seemed unlikely that he shQuld buy back land he had just deeded away. Another knowledgeable Hyde Parker was confident that Cornell had bought the land from the federal government.

Paul Cornell I realize more and more, and am thankful for, the legacy of Augustana that continues to guide and inspire me in the 7th decade of my life. The renewing of friendships, the words and music of “Songs from Two Homelands,” the presentations of pro- gram teachers, and the ambience (including the weather) of GA made for a great four days. Also to the GA committee for their pre- planning, their on-site operations, and all the behind-the-scenes – a very huge “tack så mycket”. I ask for your prayers and support as the second president of the AHA, stepping into the shoes of Reuben Swanson, is a momen- tous task. We are grateful for his four years of leadership.

  • Collecting Transit's Earnings
    Georgist Journal / No.105 / Autumn 2006 Collecting Transit’s Earnings (and What to Do When There Aren’t Any) by Adam Kerman On Friday, July 21st, the 150th anniversary of Illinois Central suburban service was observed. The Illinois Central was founded by a land speculator to promote development of Cairo on the Ohio River, and by politicians, including Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. Douglas, then a United States Senator, was instrumental in securing the federal land grant for the railroad, the first in the nation. The land grant was turned over to the state. Lincoln used his connections in Springfield to quash bids for rival railroads. The city of Chicago wanted a breakwater built to protect homes built too close to the lakefront on the south side. Because no one elsewhere benefited, its construction was politically unpopular. Solution? Force the railroad to enter the city on a right-of-way it did not want — submerged lands along the lakefront, far from industry. Douglas, who owned some of these submerged lands, sold right-of-way to the railroad and was rewarded with a seat on the board for his efforts in securing the land grant. Paul Cornell was another land speculator. He owned 300 acres in what is now the fine neighborhood of Hyde Park, home of the University of Chicago and Museum of Science and Industry. Then, it was badly located, well outside the city limits. He deeded right-of-way to the railroad in return for daily suburban service to his property. Significantly, the service was operated at a loss for several years and had to be subsidized by Cornell.

  • Hyde Park Township; Chicago Annexed Neighborhood
    Living History of Illinois and Chicago® Living History of Illinois and Chicago® – Facebook Group. Living History of Illinois and Chicago Digital Library Living History of Illinois Gazette - The Free Daily Illinois Newspaper. Illinois History Store® – Vintage Illinois and Chicago logo products. Hyde Park Township; A Chicago Annexed Neighborhood Hyde Park Township was founded by Paul Cornell, a real estate speculator and cousin of Cornell University founder Ezra Cornell. He paid for a topographical survey of the lakefront south of the city in 1852. In 1853, following the advice of Senator Stephen Douglas, he bought 300 acres of speculative property between 51st Street and 55th Street. Cornell successfully negotiated land in exchange for a railroad station at 53rd Street setting in motion the development of the first Chicago railroad suburb. This area was 7 miles south of the mouth of the Chicago River and 6 miles south of downtown Chicago. In the 1850s, Chicago was still a walkable urban area well contained within a 2 miles radius of the center. He selected the name Hyde Park to associate the area with the elite neighborhood of Hyde Park in New York as well as the famous royal park in London. Hyde Park quickly became a popular suburban retreat for affluent Chicagoan's who wanted to escape the noise and congestion of the rapidly growing city. By 1855 he began acquiring large land tracts, which he would subdivide into lots for sale in the 1870s. The Hyde Park House, an upscale hotel, was built on the shore of Lake Michigan near the 53rd Street railroad station in 1857.
