war Posted April 19, 2024 Share #3961 Posted April 19, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) 1 hour ago, adan said: Yah - well, my Dad was a dean and professor at SIU/Carbondale from 1962 until retirement, so I grew up more or less in the shadow of SIU/C's Altgeld Hall, from the age of 8. And I went to IIT's architecture school for a semester, before changing my major to Cinema & Photography at SIU's School of Communications. And my first job out of college (medical photographer) was at the old Children's Memorial Hospital at Lincoln/Halsted/Fullerton. And Standard Photo (at the time) was about two blocks west of the Water Tower, on Chicago Ave. So my research mostly amounted to "just living my life in Illinois/Chicago for 23 years." 😁 "walking distance of Evanston"...... hmmmm! Standard Photo, IIT, Children's Memorial, we've crossed paths many times. You're an honorary Chicagoan, so here's a hint: "Examine carefully the design and construction of Chicago Water Tower and it's pumping station across the street" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

adan Posted April 20, 2024 Share #3962 Posted April 20, 2024 (edited) Good hint (I think)! The 1864 entry gate to Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago, at the intersection of Rosehill Drive and Ravenswood Ave. Designed by William Warren Boyington - who is also buried there, and designed the Chicago Ave. Pumping station in your hint, as well as many other buildings in Chicago and elsewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_W._Boyington Edited April 20, 2024 by adan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's pretty limiting. Is that why we don't see you posting here? Relax, we just want to have fun, maybe see some interesting buildings, learn something about them, their architects, location, history. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
