Trip: 82
Landmarks Visited: 4
Landmarks To-Date: 216
Landmarks Remaining: 137
This Saturday was my first outing on a snowy day. This made me admit that I won't meet my original goal of seeing all of the landmarks before winter. So I will extend my deadline to a full 12 months which gives me through March of 2011 to see the remaining 137. That's still a pretty tough goal given our short winter days.
1. Hull House
The Hull House Museum is now located on the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago. It was originally founded by Jane Adams as a social service organization focused on immigrants.
2. St. Ignatius College Prep Building
This still functioning high school is also located adjacent to the UIC campus.
3. Jackson Boulevard District and Extension
This district is basically a one block area of original homes on the near west side.
4. First Baptist Congregational Church
This is a very large church built in 1869. It includes a side chapel with its own steeple that is itself as large as some churches.
I'm not sure if this house is part of First Baptist, but it's a beautiful house just behind the church. Maybe it was originally the minister's house.
