Historic Walking Tour – East
5 NAPERVILLE Historic Walking Tour – East 3rd printing, revised Spring 2006 Brief Summary of Naperville’s Past In 1831, Captain Joseph Naper traveled from Ashtabula, Ohio, to the fertile soil of Illinois, approximately 30 miles west of Chicago, near the DuPage River. He brought along several families and individuals as well as plans and provisions for establishing a community. By early 1832, Naper’s Settlement had 180 people dwelling in it, along with a trading house, mills and a school. The following year saw a post office and frame homes erected. Naperville’s early development was possible because a road connecting Chicago and Ottawa, and the Galena Road (now Aurora Avenue), passed through town. Naperville was home to the county seat from 1839 until 1867, when Wheaton contested and gained the rights. Completion of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad through Naperville in 1864 helped spur growth and was responsible for opening the Chicago market to the town’s already flourishing nurseries, breweries and quarries. The railroad also enabled the Naperville Lounge Company (later Kroehler Manufacturing Company) to grow into one of the world’s largest furniture manufacturers. Pioneer settler and real estate developer Morris Sleight once owned much of the land on the east side of Naperville. By the time of his death in 1863, he had amassed a total of 473 acres, which were developed into residential plots. Most homes in this tour are frame, two-story single-family dwellings, though some of masonry can be found. Throughout the area, the Italianate Style predominates. Other architectural styles include Queen Anne, National Folk, Stick, Craftsman, Prairie School, Gothic, and Classical Revival. -
Phases of Modern Architecture
Contemporary Architecture and Design Prof. Saptarshi Kolay Department of Architecture & planning Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee Lecture – 12 Phase of Modern Architecture-Chicago and Prairie School Welcome students, to the online NPTEL course Contemporary Architecture and Design. In the previous class, we have started discussing the style of Chicago school movement, which was one of the movement under the functionalist style under modernism, earlier phases of modernism. And we are started discussing the similarities and dissimilarities with Bauhaus movement and Chicago style movement. So, we will just see how where Chicago school was placed in the time frame of modernism. (Refer Slide Time: 00:55) It is within functionalism Chicago school is there, which is almost parallel to Bauhaus style. In their thought process, but the visual style of Chicago is very different from Bauhaus. And Bauhaus was more closely linked with De Stijl, which started in Europe and Chicago was in USA. So, Chicago took the inspiration from art nouveau style and they have transferred the art nouveau style into the more geometric treatment in the façade. But, Chicago schools more the main form evolved from functionalist approach. So, only the facade treatments were taken from to ascetically beautify that. Now, we will see this Chicago school's position. (Refer Slide Time: 01:47) How they are linked with Bauhaus? And how they have inspired another school of thought? Which is prairie and so, we have seen a little bit of inspiration, what they have taken from art nouveau style we have seen that in the service core in the work of the wrought iron work. -
Architectural Styles/Types
Architectural Findings Summary of Architectural Trends 1940‐70 National architectural trends are evident within the survey area. The breakdown of mid‐20th‐ century styles and building types in the Architectural Findings section gives more detail about the Dayton metropolitan area’s built environment and its place within national architectural developments. In American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Cyril Harris defines Modern architecture as “A loosely applied term, used since the late 19th century, for buildings, in any of number of styles, in which emphasis in design is placed on functionalism, rationalism, and up‐to‐date methods of construction; in contrast with architectural styles based on historical precedents and traditional ways of building. Often includes Art Deco, Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Contemporary style, International Style, Organic architecture, and Streamline Moderne.” (Harris 217) The debate over traditional styles versus those without historic precedent had been occurring within the architectural community since the late 19th century when Louis Sullivan declared that form should follow function and Frank Lloyd Wright argued for a purely American expression of design that eschewed European influence. In 1940, as America was about to enter the middle decades of the 20th century, architects battled over the merits of traditional versus modern design. Both the traditional Period Revival, or conservative styles, and the early 20th‐century Modern styles lingered into the 1940s. Period revival styles, popular for decades, could still be found on commercial, governmental, institutional, and residential buildings. Among these styles were the Colonial Revival and its multiple variations, the Tudor Revival, and the Neo‐Classical Revival. As the century progressed, the Colonial Revival in particular would remain popular, used as ornament for Cape Cod and Ranch houses, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings. -

An Architectural and Historical Analysis of the Caretaker's House at the Winneshiek County Poor Farm, Decorah Township, Winneshiek County, Iowa
AN ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CARETAKER’S HOUSE AT THE WINNESHIEK COUNTY POOR FARM, DECORAH TOWNSHIP, WINNESHIEK COUNTY, IOWA Section 14, T98N, R8W Special Report 1 Prepared for Winneshiek County Historic Preservation Commission Courthouse Annex 204 West Broadway Decorah, Iowa 52101 Prepared by Branden K. Scott With contributions by Lloyd Bolz, Derek V. Lee, and David G. Stanley Bear Creek Archeology, Inc. P.O. Box 347 Cresco, Iowa 52136 David G. Stanley, Director February 2012 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report presents the findings of an investigation concerning the Winneshiek County Poor Farm (96-00658), and more specifically the Caretaker’s House (96-00644) within the county farm district. This investigation was prepared for the Winneshiek County Historic Preservation Commission because the Caretaker’s House, a structure potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A is to be dismantled. This investigation seeks to document the architectural aspects of the property with emphasis on the Caretaker’s House, create a historical and cultural context of the farm, determine the potential significance of the property and each of its contributing/non- contributing features, and provide data necessary for future considerations of the property. This document was prepared by Bear Creek Archeology, Inc. of Cresco, Iowa, and any opinions expressed herein represent the views of the primary author. This report documents the Winneshiek County Poor Farm (96-00658) as a historic district containing three distinct buildings and three associated structures. The district consists of the newly constructed (relatively speaking) Wellington Place care facility (96-00660), the Winneshiek County Poor House (96-00659), the Caretaker’s House (96-00644), two sheds, and a picnic shelter, all of which are settled upon 2.7 ha (6.6 ac) on the west side of Freeport, Iowa. -

Gendering Architecture, Architecting Gender Introduction
GENDERING ARCHITECTURE, ARCHITECTING GENDER INTRODUCTION The Women in Architecture Student Organization (WIASO) presents: Gendering Architecture, Architecting Gender, a celebration of female architects throughout history as well as contemporary female architects often neglected or erased in mainstream media and architectural curricula. By showcasing works by female architects, WIASO hopes to counteract the dominant narrative of the architect as a male subject. This exhibition works to rewrite architectural history by acknowledging the contributions of female architects who have been dismissed, belitted, or denied credit for their work. By looking at architectural movements from a critical, feminist perspective, one is able to recenter history around marginalized identities and redefine what it means to be an architect. The exhibition is a glimpse at a shared history among female architects at the University of Minnesota, one that architecture students are learning about and contributing to daily. Women’s School of Planning and Architecture, 1975 EXHIBITION CREDITS DESIGN & CURATION Support for this exhibition and programs provided by the Goldstein Museum of Design, the College of Design, and generous individuals. In addition, GMD programming is made possible by the voters of Minnesota Neva Hubbert UMN Architecture Student through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to Dana Saari UMN Architecture Student the legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
