  • Cairo Supper Club Building 4015-4017 N
    Exhibit A LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT Cairo Supper Club Building 4015-4017 N. Sheridan Rd. Final Landmark Recommendation adopted by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, August 7, 2014 CITY OF CHICAGO Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Department of Planning and Development Andrew J. Mooney, Commissioner 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 re- sponsible 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 per- mits for the property under the jurisdiction of the Commission until a final landmark recom- mendation is acted on by the City Council. This Landmark Designation Report is subject to possible revision and amendment dur- ing the designation process. Only language contained within a designation ordinance adopted by the City Council should be regarded as final. 2 CAIRO SUPPER CLUB BUILDING (ORIGINALLY WINSTON BUILDING) 4015-4017 N. SHERIDAN RD. BUILT: 1920 ARCHITECT: PAUL GERHARDT, SR. Located in the Uptown community area, the Cairo Supper Club Building is an unusual building de- signed in the Egyptian Revival architectural style, rarely used for Chicago buildings. This one-story commercial building is clad with multi-colored terra cotta, created by the Northwestern Terra Cotta Company and ornamented with a variety of ancient Egyptian motifs, including lotus-decorated col- umns and a concave “cavetto” cornice with a winged-scarab medallion.

    Report on the Excavations at Elephantine by the German Archaeological Institute and the Swiss Institute from autumn 2015 to summer 2016 by Stephan Johannes Seidlmayer, Felix Arnold, Roxane Bicker, Richard Colman, Dagmar Fritzsch, Clara Jeuthe, Ewa Laskowska Krusztal, Peter Kopp, Martina Renzi, Joshua Aaron Roberson, Johanna Sigl, Cornelius von Pilgrim, Leslie Anne Warden 1. Introduction The investigation of the ancient town and temples of Elephantine carried out by the German Archaeological Institute Cairo (DAI) in cooperation with the Swiss Institute for Egyptian Building Archaeology (Swiss Institute) since 1969 was continued from October 13th, 2015 to May 31st, 20161. In the settlement the DAI continued its archaeometric project “Realities of Life” in the ancient north- western town (section 2). Between autumn 2015 and summer 2016, two seasons of excavation and one study season dedicated to the finds were conducted. The Swiss Institute resumed the excavation of a building to the south of the sanctuary of Heqaib in the framework of its study of the New Kingdom town of the island. In the Khnum temple area work concentrated on various aspects of the late temple, its precinct and its furnishings (section 3). In addition, several projects were conducted aimed at the study of objects and object groups. The DAI completed the investigation of the relief blocks from the New Kingdom temple of Khnum (section 4). During the clearance of debris a stela of Senwosret III was found (section 5). The study of the decoration of the Greco-Roman temples of Elephantine was continued (section 6). The Swiss Institute continued the conservation and rebuilding of the temple of Osiris Nesmeti (section 7).

  • Court End Text Only
    Valentine Richmond History Walks Self-Guided Walk of the Court End Neighborhood - Text Only Version All directions are in italics. The tour starts at East Clay and 11th streets, in front of the Wickham House. Please use caution while walking and crossing streets. Welcome to Court End! This residential neighborhood flourished following the move of the state capital from Williamsburg to Richmond and the completion of the Virginia State Capitol building in 1788. Court End took its name from its proximity to the court building. With all three branches of government nearby during the 19th century, many professionals chose to live close to the action. 1 The Wickham House | EAST CLAY AND 11TH STREETS This house, built for John and Elizabeth Wickham in 1812, was designed by architect Alexander Parris, who was in town to design the Governor’s mansion. Fun fact: the Wickham’s house was much more opulent than the Governor’s mansion and cost twice as much! This Neoclassical structure was inhabited by the Wickham’s, their 19 children and more than 15 enslaved African Americans. Labor provided by the enslaved workforce enabled the Wickham’s to live a lavish lifestyle like many wealthy White Southerners at the time. In 1882, entrepreneur Mann S. Valentine II purchased the property and displayed his archaeological and ethnographic collections here. In 1898, the house became the first home of the Valentine Museum. Visit thevalentine.org for a virtual tour! Directly across the street is the Maupin Maury House, 1016 East Clay Street. 1 2 Maupin Maury House | 1016 EAST CLAY STREET This Greek Revival house was originally located at 1105 East Clay Street and was built in 1846 by Dr.

    University of Nevada Reno Addressing the Evidence of Historical Medical Grave Robbing: Past Practices and their Influence on modern memory and Western Uses of the Body A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History by Danielle Zayac Dr. Martha Hildreth/Thesis Advisor Dr. Edward Schoolman/Co-Advisor December 2020 University of Nevada, Reno THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by DANIELLE ZAYAC entitled Addressing the Evidence of Historical Medical Grave Robbing: Past Practices and their Influence on modern memory and Western Uses of the Body be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Martha Hildreth, Ph.D. Advisor Edward Schoolman, Ph.D. Co-advisor Marin Pilloud, Ph.D. Committee Member Cameron Strang, Ph.D. Committee Member Jane Davidson, Ph.D. Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean Graduate School December 2020 i Abstract In this thesis I compare two cases where human remains were found on the grounds of two historical medical colleges, the Medical College of Georgia and the Medical College of Virginia. These remains are presumed to be the remnants of dissected corpses from nineteenth century medical education. I will address how these two medical schools, among many other teaching institutions of the nineteenth century, procured and used African American bodies for dissection far more often than white bodies. This study will also look at the local reaction to the twentieth century discoveries at the two colleges. Between the two cases, the Medical College of Georgia appears to have been less involved with reburial and handled the identification of the remains with less public input than the Medical College of Virginia.
