Chicago

George Pullman was considered a hero in Chicago for his innovative contributions to the railroad industry, particularly through the creation of the Pullman sleeping car, which revolutionized passenger travel by providing comfort and luxury. He also developed the town of Pullman, designed as a model community for his workers, which included amenities like parks and schools. However, his legacy is complex due to labor disputes, including the Pullman Strike of 1894, which highlighted the struggles of workers and cast a shadow over his heroic image. Overall, while he was celebrated for his advancements, his impact on labor relations complicates his status as a hero.

Chicago, Illinois, is closer to the East Coast. It is situated on the southwestern shore of Lake Michigan and is approximately 1,000 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. In comparison, it is about 1,800 miles from the Pacific Coast. Thus, Chicago is geographically aligned more with the East Coast.

Leaving your washing out on a windy night can be risky. While the wind may help dry your clothes, it can also lead to them being blown off the line or tangled. Additionally, if there's a chance of rain or dew, your laundry could end up damp or soaked. It's best to bring them in or secure them properly if you choose to leave them outside.

We have a similar "Watertown Slide" table, made by the Louis F. Nonnast Company of Chicago, IL. It is a round table, and the stamping on the underside indicates that it would expand to 10 feet 1/2 inch, with all the leaves in place. That's one big table! It has four "ball & claw" feet, two each of which spread with the center column, as the table is expanded on it's "slide mechanism." It was, according to what we can find, patented in 1899 in Chicago by Mr. Nonnast,. himself. He has always been recognized as a very high-quality Victorian Era furniture manufacturer in the Chicago market, but shipped his goods on both national and international markets. We have been contacted by an Illinois Auction company, (I wish I would have kept their name), who offered to send one of their trucks if we would consign this table to one of their auctions. FYI, they valued it, at auction, (in the early '90s), at "possibly in excess of $5000," for whatever that is worth.

All this, even though our table has only one leaf left. There's usually a story behind most antiquities, . . . Apparently, during the 1930s Great Depression Era, one year there was a terrible blizzard, and the woodpile had been either depleted, or was somehow inaccessible, so the family burned several of the leaves for this table in either the fireplace or the stove, in order to stay warm. That's the hand-me-down story on the missing leaves from our family's table, which will remain in our family for generations to come. FYI, for the past seven years, I have had a daily search on two auction sites, (eBay and Boocoo), and have never had a hit. This is apparently, not only a very high-quality table, but one that is extremely RARE.

It is my understanding that the Lake View community is bounded by Fullerton Avenue on the South, to Devon Avenue on the North, and from the Lakeshore to Western Avenue on the West.

In the book �Historic City: The Settlement of Chicago� published by the City of Chicago in 1976 (Library of Congress Card Number: 76-49765), are fold-out color coded Community Settlement maps for the years 1840, 1860 and 1870 which do not show an Irish settlement, however, the map for the year 1900 does show three Irish settlements. My best estimates of the approximate color-coded areas on the map are as follows:

Area I: 5200 to 5600 North and from 1200 to 1600 West.

Area II: 3000 to 3200 North and from 500 West to the North Branch, Chicago River.

Area III: 2900 to 3100 North and from 600 to 1300 West.

The information was based on census data, church records and general histories.

A correction to my earlier estimate of Area II. It should read:

Area II: 3000 to 3200 North and from [2100] West to the North Branch, Chicago River.

My understanding is that it was not primarily Irish, most of whom were on th near west side. It had a large German and Luxembourgish population (allegedly the largest Luxembourgish population outside of the Grand Duchy).

Lake View is on the North Side. Most Irish in Chicago live on the South Side.

Still has one of the highest Irish populations in Chicago. Check the Census Bureau's web site. Census.gov???
