Please note that it will take 5-10 minutes to adjust if this is your first time working with The Magnifying Press. On October 19 and 20th you have the opportunity to look behind these facades you've always wondered about and discover the unusual space of the artists inside, or a collection of antique printed materials, or the idiosyncratic handmade details of the building - plus some outstanding views of the city. This weekend, more than 350 locations across Chicagoland rush to open their doors to Chicago's Open House Chicago Architectural Center for free entry. The choice of sites is overwhelming, so we chose a few highlights, with a focus on uniqueness, fascinating tenants, and places that offer stunning vistas. Most of them are new to the Chicago Open House this year. While some intriguing sites, such as Chicago Harbor and Castle at the mouth of the river or Frank Lloyd Wright's recently restored Temple of Unity in Oak Park, require RSVPs and are already full, you can walk to most sites without notice - although you may have to wait in line, especially in some of the more popular places. Choose a few and create your own tour around them. See our highlights here. Many of the sites we've highlighted in 2018 and 2017 are also still open House Chicago members if you want more recommendations. Loyola University Mundelein Performing Arts Center 1020 W. Sheridan Rd. Photo: Eric Allix Rogers with his Art Deco decorations, including stylized statues of angels framing the entrance, can expect this building to be downtown or in Hyde Park - this is the only Art Deco skyscraper on the North Side. Built in 1931 by Joseph W. McCarthy and Narin Fischer, it originally housed the Catholic Women's College of Mundelein and included a swimming pool, auditorium, gymnasium and more. Currently owned by Loyola University, it includes theatre, dance and musical spaces added to the overhaul - and offers magnificent views of the lake. 6018North 6018 N. Kenmore Ave. Photo: Eric Allix Rogers This Edgewater mansion since 1910 is completely unique. When the blast pipes exposed the original skeleton of the house during the renovation century after it was built, the owners decided to leave the structure exposed and turn the space into an artist-centered, sustainable, non-profit platform and place featuring experimental art installations that take full advantage of the space. Visitors will be asked to sign a waiver. St Thomas of Canterbury Church 4827 N. Kenmore Ave. Photo: Eric Allix Rogers While American neoclassical buildings, with their impressive colonnades, are common in the East, they are much smaller so in Chicago. St. Thomas St. Thomas Since 1917, can only be a Catholic church, developed in this style. It is still the quintessence of the American, in its multiculturalism: it includes twelve separate shrines, each of which are different global saints, and has services in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Lao and Eritrean. Starshaped Press 4636 N. Ravenswood Ave. #103 Photo: Eric Allix Rogers The Streamline Moderne facade of this building, along the former industrial corridor of Ravenswood, which is now occupied by breweries, startups, art organizations, and more, has to offer an era in the first half of the twentieth century. But Starshaped Press, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, uses some equipment even older than that: antique metals and wood types that are 75-150 years old. Outdoor house visitors can watch one press in action, and purchase some of the prints focusing on Chicago art and architecture. Ravenswood Event Center 4025 N. Ravenswood Ave. Photo Eric Allix Rogers If you've ever been on the Brown Line near the Irving Park stop, you've probably noticed this unusual building, with its quarter circle, glass top floor. A former billboard factory since 1921 that the top floor allowed workers to flip billboards as they painted them. Now the venue of the event, the lower floor of the house has a striking collection of vintage cars and neon signs. Muslim Community Center 4380 N. Elston Ave. Photo: Eric Allix Rogers After the 1,300-seat movie theater, this 1923 building became a banquet hall and ballroom before entering its current iteration as Chicago's Muslim Community Center in the 1980s. The look has been changed, but it retains the original, elegant arched windows above the doors as well as some original details on the inside. Founded in 1969, the center is one of the oldest and largest Muslim organizations in Chicago. Visitors will be asked to take off their shoes before entering the prayer areas. Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in Fine Art 4 W. Burton Pl. Photo: Eric Allix Rogers This Century Frontier Prairie-style mansion designed by Richard E. Schmidt of the Gold Coast shows the influence not only of Frank Lloyd Wright, but of Louis Sullivan as well, especially in his ornamentation of Hugh M. G. Garden. After the restoration in 1963, the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in Fine Arts, which seeks to explore architecture and its role in art, culture and society, moved in. You can also explore the Foundation's current exhibition. Carl Street Studios 155 W. Burton Pl. (Chicago Architecture Center Members Only) Photo: Eric Allix Rogers This unusual collection of artists studio, courtyards and residences has been a work idiosyncratic Miller, Jesus Torres, Andrew Rebori, and others, with financial support from Sol Sol Between 1927 and 1940, they carved this 1877 mansion and decorated in an eclectic style, in various media. Members of the Chicago Architectural Center can explore the beautiful gardens and courtyards during the Open Day. Holy Trinity Polish Roman Catholic Mission 1118 N. Noble St. Photo: Eric Allix Rogers there are numerous great Polish cathedral-style churches in Chicago, including this 1906 pastiche of William Criegue. The baroque interior, free of columns, is usually open only for Mass, most of which are still held in Polish. You can also explore the catacombs under the sanctuary during the Open House. Ignite Glass Studios 401 N. Armour St. Photo: Eric Allix Rogers If you visit Ignite Glass Studios during Open House Chicago, you can watch glass artisans in action - and potentially try your hand at glass by making or buying your own seasonally appropriate glass pumpkin (available in order from the first visitor, first served for a fee). You can also view the work in the gallery space and enjoy both the outdoor garden and roof deck. Center for Conservation 400 N.

Our longstanding partnership demonstrates the enormous possibilities for the world when two strong and independent nations unite in common purpose and in common cause - Donald Trump, President of the United States of America Washington, June 13, 2019 There will be more American troops in Poland. This is going to be an enhanced cooperation. It's going to be an enduring presence, which hopefully will increase gradually in terms of the number of troops, but also in terms of infrastructure which is very important - Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland Editorial Dear Readers, he ninth issue of the quarterly opens with an article about the infrastructure project of strategic imperative for Poland – the construction of the Solidarity Transport Hub Central Airport. In the piece by the TSecretary of State and Government Plenipotentiary for the Central Communication Port, Minister Mikołaj Wild maintains that the project is a development impulse for Poland and Central Eastern Europe. The author emphasizes the construction of the port would enable an increase in passenger and cargo potential and would situate Poland on the leading passenger and freight routes, which has considerable importance for economic development and security of the region. In another part of the issue, the predicaments faced by the European Union are examined considering its internal challenges, such as a new composition of the European Parliament and European Commission, and external challenges – including the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.
