Describe contributing and noncontributing resources if applicable. Begin with a summary paragraph that briefly describes the general characteristics of the property, such as its location, type, style, method of construction, setting, size, and significant features. Indicate whether the property has historic integrity). Summary Paragraph The State Penitentiary at Joliet, also known as the Joliet Correctional Center and Old Joliet Prison, was originally constructed between 1857 and 1869 and designed by architects William W. Boyington and Otis Wheelock. The compound today, approximately fifteen acres in area, contains twenty-seven buildings and a reservoir structure, enclosed by a massive limestone masonry wall. Most buildings are constructed of coursed ashlar limestone masonry. The buildings are primarily of the Castellated Gothic Revival style, with the Administration Building, Guard Towers, and Cell Blocks closely resembling a medieval fortress. The prison is situated on the north side of the City of Joliet in Will County, about ten miles from Joliet City Hall and about 950 feet east of the Des Plaines River. The main compound is bordered on the north by Hills Avenue and an automotive scrapyard. Collins Street (which becomes Illinois Route 171 out of town) borders the prison on the east. To the northeast are two ponds which once, when empty, formed a dolomitic limestone quarry where prisoners extracted the stones used to build the prison and several other structures in Joliet; The dolomite is colloquially known as Joliet limestone, and will be referred to as such from here on. Woodruff Road forms the southeastern boundary, with a large 330-feet by 130-feet parking lot across from the prison. The compound is lightly wooded on the west and bordered by the BNSF Railroad track, the Illinois and Michigan Canal Trail, and the Des Plaines River. The compound’s general surroundings are sparsely developed, with businesses featuring warehouses and open yards selling auto parts, fencing supplies, and landscaping materials to the northwest and south. To the west and northeast is a large green space including semi-dense woods. Modern residential development begins a few blocks south. Overall, despite some contemporary business presence, the area maintains much of the same flat, isolated feeling it would have possessed during the prison’s operating years. Several walkways and green areas define the space of the complex. A main walkway extends between the East and West Sally Ports and divides the compound into northern and southern halves. The main prison yard is located in the southwest quadrant of the complex and is bordered by the West Cell Block, School and Chapel Building, and the Power House. A walkway also extends from the Administration Building to the centrally-located North Segregation building. A Note on Descriptions: The authors have endeavored to describe the prison and structures with as much detail as possible. However, given the Department of Correction’s ownership of the prison and policies regarding access to it, the team was only able to visit the compound once for a few hours, was not allowed to enter any of the buildings, and was therefore unable to collect comprehensive photographs or measurements in person. For these reasons, many of the descriptions and dimensions are based on Google Earth satellite imaging and are therefore approximate and incomplete despite our best efforts. Nonetheless, the team firmly believes that the following descriptions accurately communicate the scope, condition, and integrity of the State Penitentiary at Joliet. 4 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description Original Contributing Structures The early structures, built between 1857 and 1858, were designed by Wheelock and Boyington in the Castellated Gothic styles. While nearly all these buildings have sustained internal water damage, broken windows, and moderate graffiti, they maintain their form due to the strength and width of their sturdy, load-bearing masonry. (The mattress factory and vehicle restoration buildings, heavily fire-damaged, are the exception.) The compound’s buildings all rest on a limestone foundation. This feature figured prominently in the choice of location for the prison, as the stone foundation helped prevent escape tunnels. 1. The Administration Building, built 1858 The Administration Building, which contained the warden’s residence and administrative offices, faces south and served as the main entrance to the prison. The main east and west cell blocks flank the administration building, forming the southern boundary of the prison. The walls are load-bearing masonry of Joliet limestone. The square-plan building rises four stories, and features two small, projecting, crenelated turrets flanking the entrance and three large crenelated turrets at the SW, SE, and NE corners. Two chimneys rise above the flat roof. Other ventilation features appear on the roof. The south elevation runs about 110 feet from west to east and features finely-dressed, regularly-cut ashlar masonry. In front of the door is a projecting portico measuring twenty-five feet by twenty-five feet. The portico was added to the entrance around 1892 and features a red, hipped roof and an enclosed observation porch. Two rectangular, one-over-one windows are situated on each side of the door,

  • Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 Update II August 18, 2014
    Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 update II August 18, 2014 Dear Friends, The Streeterville Neighborhood Plan (“SNP”) was originally written in 2005 as a community plan written by a Chicago community group, SOAR, the Streeterville Organization of Active Resi- dents. SOAR was incorporated on May 28, 1975. Throughout our history, the organization has been a strong voice for conserving the historic character of the area and for development that enables divergent interests to live in harmony. SOAR’s mission is “To work on behalf of the residents of Streeterville by preserving, promoting and enhancing the quality of life and community.” SOAR’s vision is to see Streeterville as a unique, vibrant, beautiful neighborhood. In the past decade, since the initial SNP, there has been significant development throughout the neighborhood. Streeterville’s population has grown by 50% along with new hotels, restaurants, entertainment and institutional buildings creating a mix of uses no other neighborhood enjoys. The balance of all these uses is key to keeping the quality of life the highest possible. Each com- ponent is important and none should dominate the others. The impetus to revising the SNP is the City of Chicago’s many new initiatives, ideas and plans that SOAR wanted to incorporate into our planning document. From “The Pedestrian Plan for the City”, to “Chicago Forward”, to “Make Way for People” to “The Redevelopment of Lake Shore Drive” along with others, the City has changed its thinking of the downtown urban envi- ronment. If we support and include many of these plans into our SNP we feel that there is great- er potential for accomplishing them together.

  • The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade
    Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades. Aleksander Pluskowski is a lecturer in Medieval Archaeology at the University of Reading. Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00

Clark Street Chicago, Illinois 60610 (312) 744-3200 Printed U.S.A./November 1984 A contemporary view of the Old Chicago Water Tower District. (Bob Thall, photographer) OLD CHICAGO WATER TOWER DISTRICT Bounded by Chicago Avenue, Seneca and Pearson streets, and Michigan Avenue. The district is com­ prised of the Old Chicago Water Tower, Chicago Avenue Pumping Station, Fire Station of Engine Company No. 98, Seneca and Water Tower parks. The district was designated a Chicago Landmark by the City Council on October 6, 1971; the district was expanded by the City Council on June 10, 1981. Standing on both north corners of the prominent inter­ section of Michigan and Chicago avenues are two important and historic links with the past, the Old Chicago Water Tower and the Chicago Avenue Pumping Station. The Old Water Tower, on the northwest corner, has long been recog­ nized as Chicago's most familiar and beloved landmark. The more architecturally interesting of the two structures, it is no longer functional and has not been since early in this century. The Pumping Station, the still functioning unit of the old waterworks, stands on the northeast corner. When the waterworks were constructed at this site in the late 1860s, there was no busy Michigan Avenue separating the adjoining picturesque buildings.
