After talk of a ‘haunted’ school and memories the old building recalled became unbearable to residents and officials, a movement was begun to tear down the school and turn the area into a nature preserve. This push for the preserve was a great success, and soon, it seemed, all traces of St. Francis School for Girls were gone from the site. The new preserve was christened ‘Independence Grove’ as a tribute to the survivors of the massacre who, through the demolition of the school, had been freed from the physical reminders of that awful night.“ Bielski, Ursula.

  • History of St. Chrysostom's Would Be Complete Without Paying Tribute to Frederick Spalding
    The History of St. Chrysostom’s Episcopal Church HISTORY OF ST. CHRYSOSTOM’S CHURCH CHAPTER 1 Thaddeus A. Snively: First Years of the Parish, 1893-1907 Sunday, January 15, 1893. "CROWDED AND COLD. Marked Characteristics of Nearly All Street-Cars," read the lead story in that day's Chicago Tribune. "TRIALS OF WEST-SIDERS. The Early Morning Service Declared To Be Wretched. NORTH SIDE NO BETTER OFF. Even the South Side Lines Are Said To Be Falling from Grace." The poor service must have been a particular hardship during the previous days; a cold spell had gripped the city and the entire eastern third of the country for most of the preceding week, with Chicago temperatures reaching -12 by midnight on the 14th (they would drop to -16 for several hours early Sunday morning before moderating later in the day). Chicagoans suffering from the extreme weather could plan to purchase on the following day, according to their budgets, real mink capes at $25.00, astrakhan fur reefers at $20.00 or military ulsters at $7.50 from Schlesinger and Mayer's at the southeast corner of State and Madison Streets; men's winter underwear at $1.25 and 49c could be bought at the Hub on the northwest corner of State and Jackson. (Those persons preferring to shop at Marshall Field's would have had to wait a day to see what was available, since Field's did not at that time advertise on Sundays.) Much news space was devoted to the forthcoming World's Columbian Exposition: a gang of French crooks with plans to "work the Fair" had just been arrested, and an article by Caroline S.

ARC agreed to test the model it is an internal journey, in which a congregation will explore and come to intimately know the contours of its own ecosystem. It is about mindfully existing in the space it takes up in accountability to the communities of color within and surrounding it.
