Together we can make a positive difference in Marktown and set an example for all of East Chicago and the Calu- met Region. More About Pullman and Historic Preservation by Paul A.

To fully understand what it can do for a neighbor- hood, one only need visit north Pullman before go- ing to south Pullman. You see, north Pullman never had the same degree of protection as did south Pull- man and the difference is night and day. The concepts and precepts of historic preser- vation do not make people remove garages, drive- ways or car ports. It does not make them repaint their houses or open up their porches.

In Pullman, as well as those thousands of other historic districts across the nation, historic preser- vation increases property values and in doing so makes it possible for a greater degree of reinvest- ment by the homeowner. I don't know of anyone who, when the time comes to sell their home wouldn't want to sell it for the same prices they are getting in Pullman. I am pleased that Precinct Committeeman Mad- rigal enjoyed his afternoon in Pullman and I hope that all of our friends and neighbors in Marktown take the opportunity to join him either at the Pullman Gar- den Walk in the early summer of their Annual House Walk in October. It is a trip well worth your time. For information on Pullman please visit them at www.pullman-museum.org THE MARQUETTE PLAN AND EAST CHICAGO.......

  • Lake Road Walking Tour Lake Forest, IL About Lake Road
    Houses of Lake Road Walking Tour Lake Forest, IL About Lake Road 1881 map • Lake Road is one of the very few straight roads in the park-like, curvilinear Plan of Lake Forest by landscape designer Almerin Hotchkiss (1857), running north-south across the deep ravines alongside the steep Lake Michigan bluff edge. The bluffs here rise 50’ to 100’ above the lake. • Due to the riparian nature of the landscape, many homes along Lake Road are located much closer to the street’s edge than elsewhere in east Lake Forest. • Most of the earliest homes and estates in town were built further inland, closer to the railroad station or Lake Forest University. The now- demolished Amzi Benedict residence (see 810 Lake Road) was an exception. • It was during the country estate era of the 1890s and early 1900s that home sites began to populate Lake Road, both the result of new development from Chicagoans building summer places and the subdivision of larger parcels by second-generation Lake Foresters. Few of the homes from this period are extant (see Ioka, Briar Hall, House in the Woods) – Halcyon Lodge (1350 Lake Road) is an exception. • Most homes on this tour come from one of three periods: pre-WWI 1910s (Shaw, Adler); mid-1920s-1930s (Adler, Frazier, Lindeberg, Anderson); or 1950s-1960s (Frazier, Colburn, Cerny, Milman). The Tour Start at the south end of Lake Road (south of Spring Lane) and walk north toward Lake Forest Cemetery Notes: • Some listed homes have been demolished; others may not be visible due to vegetation or fences/walls.

    Manufactural Geography of East Chicago-Whiting, Indiana (A Study in Geographic Rehabilitation) Alfred H. Meyer and Diane Heidtmann Paetz, Valparaiso University This study is one of a continuing series of industrial community geographic surveys of the Calumet region of northwest Indiana and north- east Illinois, of which already four have been published—those of Michigan City, LaPorte, Gary, and Chicago Heights. The objective is to review and evaluate the salient historical geographic forces which enter into the development of the manufactural pattern, such as elements of settlement, locative factors, transportation facilities, sources of raw materials, mar- kets, and zoning-planning of industrial land. Appraisal of actual and potential manufactural resources is based on questionnaire and interview data and field mapping. The contiguous cities of East Chicago (pop. 57,669) and Whiting (pop. 8,137) form a compact industrial unit fronting on Lake Michigan and focused on Indiana Harbor and its ship canal (1). Whiting is pri- marily a petroleum refining center; East Chicago dominates in primary and fabricated metals. Some three-score establishments are oriented areally to three sectors of the transportation pattern. Rapid industrial expansion and crowding of industrial sites without the benefit of a con- current adequate zoning and planning program have resulted in wide- spread residential blight. The problem of providing improved living and recreational facilities in an area whose residential occupance constitutes only 11 percent of the total area of the two cities, and still provide for extra land needed for growing industries presents a challenging redevelop- ment project. Historic-Geographic Perspective This industrial community, variously characterized as "The Work- shop of America, Where Rail and Water Meet," and "The Steel Capital of the World," was a relatively late comer on the Midwest manufactural scene.
