    EXHIBIT A LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT (Former) Schlitz Brewery-Tied House 1944 N. Oakley Ave. Final Landmark Recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, July 7, 2011 CITY OF CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Department of Housing and Economic Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner Bureau of Planning and Zoning Historic Preservation Division The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose nine members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommend- ing to the City Council which individual buildings, sites, objects, or districts should be designated as Chicago Landmarks, which protects them by law. The landmark designation process begins with a staff study and a preliminary summary of information related to the potential designation criteria. The next step is a preliminary vote by the landmarks commission as to whether the proposed landmark is worthy of consideration. This vote not only initiates the formal designation process, but it places the review of city permits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recommendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment during the designation process. Only language contained within a designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. (Former) Schlitz Brewery-Tied House 1944 N. Oakley Ave. Date: 1898 Architect: Kley & Lang The former Schlitz Brewery-Tied House at 1944 N. Oakley Avenue is one of the best- remaining examples of the architecturally distinctive Chicago taverns built by breweries around the turn of the twentieth century.

  • Description of the Study Area
    Chapter II DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA INTRODUCTION The water-resource and water-resource-related problems of a watershed, as well as the ultimate solutions to those problems, are a function of the human activities within the watershed and of the ability of the underlying natural resource base to sustain those activities. Regional water quality management planning seeks to rationally direct the future course of human actions within the watershed so as to promote the conservation and wise use of the natural resource base. Accordingly, the purpose of this chapter is to describe the natural resource base and the man-made features of the greater Milwaukee watersheds, thereby establishing a factual base upon which the regional water quality management planning process may proceed. This description of the study area is presented in two major sections: the first describes the man-made features; the second describes the natural resource base of the watersheds. REGIONAL AND WATERSHED SETTING OF THE PLANNING AREA The planning area encompasses the greater Milwaukee watersheds within Southeastern Wisconsin, which, as shown on Map 1 in Chapter I of this report, cover approximately 1,127 square miles. About 861 square miles of these watersheds are located within the seven-county Southeastern Wisconsin Region, representing about 32 per- cent of the Region. Within the region, these watersheds include all of the Kinnickinnic River, Menomonee River, Oak Creek, and Root River watersheds, portions of the Milwaukee River watershed, and lands directly tributary to Lake Michigan. In addition, approximately 266 square miles of the greater Milwaukee watersheds, or about 23.6 percent of the study area, are located outside of the Region.

Thallis Hoyt Drake and Andy Nunemaker were named 2016 Friends of the Arts. They will be honored Tuesday, June 14 at a 4:30 p.m. reception in the atrium of the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts followed by an awards program and celebration at 5 p.m. Representatives of 33 city-based arts organizations who received arts board grants will also be honored. “We’re glad to shine a light on these four individuals, who have contributed so much to our entire community,” said Ald. Michael Murphy, who chairs the Milwaukee Arts Board. Della Wells is a self-taught artist who began drawing and painting in earnest at the age of 42. Her work ranges from collage and pastels to quilting. Her creative process stems from her personal experiences embellished through the art of storytelling. In 2011, an award winning play inspired by her life, '' Don't Tell Me I Can't Fly'', premiered in Milwaukee. The play was commissioned by First Stage children’s theater and written by Y York. She illustrated a children's book, "Electric Angel" by Nanci Mortimer, to be released by Wooden Nickel Press in late June.

  • Editorial and Design Principles in Precursors Of
    PRECURSORS TO THE RISE OF ENGLISH WORLD ATLASES; Theatres, Atlases, Cosmographies, Geographies, and Sets of Maps Dalia Varanka, Research Geographer U.S. Geological Survey 1400 Independence Road Rolla, Mo 65401 Tel. 573.308.3897 Email [email protected] Acnowledgement: This paper is based on doctoral dissertation research formulated under the supervision of J.B. Harley. The dissertation work was supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation and with fellowships from the John Carter Brown Library, Brown University; the Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of Cartography, The Newberry Library; and the Graduate College of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The context of the rise of world atlases in England suggests that they were tied to wider scholarly and social issues covering the period of roughly 1630 through 1730. This short history discusses the cosmographical background and Continental foundations of the rise of world atlases in England, and a survey of relevant English precursors to those atlases. A risk exists of rooting definitions of atlases firmly in cartography, subsuming other defining concepts, such as scientific philosophy and social values. An alternative way to look at atlases is that they are part of the larger corpus of their other contemporary works. The word ‘atlas’ was applied to only a part of our extant corpus of bound or unbound collections of maps of the world made in late seventeenth- century England. A more frequent term is "set of maps," (or Tabularum Geographicarum). ‘Geography’ is also used. Bound sets of maps, which are called Atlas Factice, are almost never called atlases by their makers or producers.
