This style, with its sense of calm power and dignity, and with its true systems of proportion, its sin­ cerity and refinement, and I may add its rationalism, seems to represent the faith of those who employ it in their house of worship." Beman's early buildings in Pullman and Chicago in the 1880's were gothic and romanesque revival structures typical of the period. His interest in use of the classic revival style began when he was selected as one of fifteen architects to design buildings for the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893.

The historical background of the various items in the exhibit is of considerable interest. Perhaps the oldest piece is a pine drop leaf table owned by Mary Baker Eddy's mother, Mrs. Abigail Ambrose Baker, and later used by Mrs. Eddy.

  • Griffiths-Burroughs House 3806 S
    LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Griffiths-Burroughs House 3806 S. Michigan Ave. Final Landmark recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, November 5, 2009. CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning Patricia A. Scudiero, Commissioner 1 The Commission on Chicago Landmarks, whose ten members are appointed by the Mayor and City Council, was established in 1968 by city ordinance. The Commission is responsible for recommending 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 informa- tion 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 jurisdic- tion 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 the designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. 2 GRIFFITHS-BURROUGHS HOUSE 3806 S. MICHIGAN AVENUE BUILT: 1892 ARCHITECT:SOLON S. BEMAN The Griffiths-Burroughs House has significance for both its architecture and its history. It remains as a surviving grandly-scaled mansion along South Michigan Avenue and exemplifies the avenue’s 19th-century development as one of Chicago’s premier residential streets.

  • Historical Facts Regarding Mary Baker Eddy's Student, Bliss Knapp
    Historical Facts Regarding Mary Baker Eddy's Student, Bliss Knapp In April 1991, The Christian Science Board of Directors and the Trustees of The Christian Science Publishing Society made the decision to publish The Destiny of The Mother Church by Bliss Knapp. When The Destiny reached the Reading Rooms, it brought out into the open a division of teaching which erupted early this century. The division concerns the identity of Mary Baker Eddy, -- as either Mark Baker's daughter, the one who eventually became the Discoverer, Founder and Leader of Christian Science; or, the Woman who fulfilled Bible prophecy as found in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Micah and Revelation, -- the Messenger who brought the divine Comforter and established God's church. Mrs. Eddy's devoted students accepted her as the God-crowned woman of Scriptural prophecy. This is clearly shown in their writings in the early Christian Science periodicals. The members of the Knapp family were among this group. There is a golden chain of events showing, in our Leader's words, "...God's disposal of events" in regard to Mrs. Eddy's unique friendship with the Knapp Family, and Bliss Knapp in particular. In the following pages, a number of interesting vignettes are related concerning Mrs. Eddy's association with her student, Bliss Knapp. Like the vignettes in the We Knew Mary Baker Eddy series, these accounts are helpful in understanding Bliss Knapp, -- the man, his book, and our Leader. The compiler of this information is a student of Mr. Knapp. • Receptive and Willing Students God chose Mrs. Eddy to bring the final revelation of the divine Comforter, Christian Science.
