Grand station (CTA Logan Square branch)

Chicago was a rapid transit station on the Logan Square branch of the Chicago "L", one of the several branches of the Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad, between 1895 and 1951. Located on Chicago Avenue, the station was constructed by the Metropolitan in the early 1890s and began service on May 6, 1895. The Metropolitan, one of four companies that would build what became the Chicago "L", had many branches to serve Chicago's west side, including the Logan Square branch on which Chicago lay. With some interruptions and financial issues, it operated these lines until 1911, when it handed operations to Chicago Elevated Railways, and formally merged into the Chicago Rapid Transit Company (CRT) in 1924. The "L" was taken over by the publicly-held Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) in 1947. A subway had been planned since the late 1930s to reach the Loop downtown in a more direct way than the portion of the Logan Square branch where Chicago stood. This subway was originally intended to supplement the old elevated Logan Square branch, but the CTA sought to simplify its routing and saw no need for the old branch's continued existence. The subway opened on February 25, 1951, with a station of its own on Chicago Avenue; the old Chicago station was then closed along with the others on the affected part of the branch. The station and its trackage remained in non-revenue service until it was demolished and the property sold off in 1964. A commercial building built by the CRT across the street from the station survives, however, and has a low profile that marks where the "L" once passed above it. Chicago was typical of the Metropolitan's stations, with two wooden side platforms and a brick station house at street level. For most of its existence it connected with a streetcar route that reached Lake Shore Drive; both the "L" and streetcar had owl service.

The Lake Street Transfer was a transfer station between Chicago's Lake Street Elevated and Metropolitan West Side Elevated Railroad, both of which were parts of the Chicago "L". It existed from 1913 to 1951, when it was rendered obsolete by the construction of the Dearborn Street Subway. It was an amalgamation of two separate stations – Wood on the Lake Street Elevated, one block away from the site of the future transfer station, and Lake on the Metropolitan that was on the site – that had been constructed in 1893 and 1895, respectively. The merger of the stations was a legal obligation to the Lake Street Elevated when the four companies that had formed the Chicago "L" merged in the early 1910s and involved the closing of Wood station while the Lake Street Elevated built its station at the site. After its construction, the transfer station served as the transfer between the two lines. It was double-decked, with the Metropolitan's tracks and station being located immediately above the Lake Street's tracks and station. Access to the Lake Street platforms was via a station house at the street level, and passengers would then use the platforms to access the Metropolitan's platforms via additional stairways. However, the construction of the Dearborn Street Subway rendered the Metropolitan's line in the area obsolete, and the station was closed shortly thereafter, although remnants of the station would remain until the 1960s. The site of the station later served as the junction of the Paulina Connector to the Lake Street Elevated, which was intended for temporary operation and would not enter revenue service until the Pink Line opened in 2006.

Union Park Congregational Church and Carpenter Chapel (also known as First Baptist Congregational Church) is a historic church building at 60 N. Ashland Blvd. on the Near West Side of Chicago, Illinois. The chapel is named after Philo Carpenter, a deacon, a co-founder of the congregation and of the Chicago Theological Seminary, and an early donor of the original church who was also a noted abolitionist and the city's first druggist.

The church building is currently occupied by the First Baptist Congregational Church, whose official mailing address is 1613 W. Washington Blvd. in Chicago. The Gothic Revival chapel was designed by architect Otis Wheelock, partner of W. W. Boyington in the firm of Boyington & Wheelock, for the Chicago Theological Seminary, which was located on the same campus; the chapel was completed the same year that construction began on the church. The church, also in Gothic Revival, was designed by architect Gurdon P. Randall and was constructed between 1869 and 1871; it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

ARC Gallery is an alternative exhibition space in Chicago, Illinois. Opening in 1973, it was one of the first women artists’ cooperatives in the Midwest along with Artemisia Gallery (another venerable Chicago women’s cooperative that opened on the same block that month). ARC stands for Artists, Residents, Chicago and is one of the longest running women’s cooperative galleries in the country. The original members, recent art school graduates, banded together because they found few female mentors and exhibition opportunities. Through ARC, the members were able to promote their own artwork, feature solo and group exhibitions by many artists from across the county, and create discourse around feminism, art, theory, and practice. In 1979, ARC founded RAWspace, a raw part of the gallery dedicated to exhibiting installation work by visiting artists, selected by ARC members. RAWspace was one of the pioneering spaces in Chicago for the exhibition of installation work.The founding members of the ARC Gallery were Dalia Alekna, Jan Arnow, Gerda Meyer Bernstein, Judy Lerner Brice, Ellen Ferar, Imfriede Hogan Lagerkvist, Maxine Lowe, Mary Min, Kay Rosen, Civia Rosenberg Gina Rosenblum, Sara Skolnik Rosenbluth, Laurel Ross, Myra Toth, and Monika Wulfers.
