  • Holden Block 1027 West Madison Street
    LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Holden Block 1027 West Madison Street Preliminary and Final Landmark Recommendation Adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, March 3, 2011 CITY OF CHICAGO Richard M. Daley, Mayor Department of Housing and Economic Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner Bureau of Planning and Zoning Historic Preservation Division Cover: The Holden Block at 1027 W. Madison St. is a four-story commercial loft building built in 1872. It is designed in the Italianate architectural style, faced with Buena Vista sandstone, and ornamented with a plethora of finely-crafted stone ornament concentrated around upper-floor windows. 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 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 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. HOLDEN BLOCK 1027 West Madison Street Built: 1872 Architect: Stephen Vaughn Shipman The Holden Block, a four-story building located on Chicago’s Near West Side, is an unusual- surviving Italianate “commercial block” from the 1870s.

  • News You Can Use for November 2018 from Your MX College Library
    News You Can Use For November 2018 From Your MX College Library Several years ago the CCC district made a deal with a textbook vendor to put two copies of each required textbook in the Library reserve collection. These books are for in-library use for two hours. Many students take advantage of this collection and some don’t purchase a textbook. With the high cost of textbooks (some cost more than the class tuition), some colleges are using freely available open source textbooks. Here is a link to a study that concluded open source textbooks do not negatively impact student performance. While the authors conclude many factors contribute to student success such as motivation, intelligence, and teacher-student rapport, the choice of a open source vs. a commercial printed or electronic textbook does not seem to be a factor. Click here to read the article: https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1420&context=cjsotl_rcacea Here are some links to open source college textbooks. http://www.collegeopentextbooks.org/ College Open Textbooks https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/ Open Text Library https://research.cehd.umn.edu/otn/ Open Textbook Network https://openstax.org/subjects OpenStax Featured Database of the Month If you want to search for Chicago history, the Chicago area newspapers are a good place to start. Be skeptical of what you find since the job of a newspaper reporter is to sell papers. Not all newspaper articles are carefuly researched. ProQuest is the database for newspapers.

  • Cultural Facilities As an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples
    Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples A Paper Presented by Margery al Chalabi ACG: The al Chalabi Group, Ltd. WSE: World Society for Ekistics Annual Meeting Tinos, Greece September 24-29, 2002 Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples I. Introduction Over the past four decades (1960-2000), American central cities have undergone successive waves of in-and out-migration which have profoundly changed both their economic roles and their urban character. • The early 60’s saw an ebb in in-migration to northern cities from workers from the south; and growth in suburbanization, as highways and new housing proliferated. • The seventies produced industrial losses from the rust belt and expansions into the Sunbelt cities, accompanied by accelerating suburbanization in both. • The eighties produced major contractions in basic industries and a spurt in professional and service jobs. The central cities and their downtowns produced record-breaking square footages of offices to reclaim businesses and their workers, many of whom commuted, by train, from dormitory communities. • By the early nineties, urban areas had stretched well beyond reasonable commute times; and suburban office parks – particularly those around hub airports – had begun to compete with or overshadow traditional downtowns. Some urban areas, such as Atlanta, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, grew into multi- nucleated matrices and give rise to the term “Edge City”. • The late nineties and turn of the century witnessed a cultural renaissance in many central cities. Theater, music and dance are expanding, building new facilities and enlarging their audiences. Museums – both large and small – are building new and renovating old structures and expanding collections.
