the trip took 2 hours and was cheered by thousands along the way, making the return trip as a back-up movement as there was yet no turning facility at joliet. throughout the 1850's the rails moved through morris, ottawa, la salle and bureau, connecting chicago with the mississippi river. the railroad continued to expand and in 1866 acquired two other lines to become the chicago, rock island and pacific railroad company. during its height, the lines stretched across the midwest connecting chicago with mineapolis, omaha, st. louis, and memphis, as well as reaching denver, dallas\/fort worth, and galveston. at the peak of the railroad’s size it operated over 8,000 miles of track. while the rail comapny served most of the largest cities in the nation’s heartland, stretching between the midwest and southwest, it was unfortunately the most circuitous, allowing competitors with much more direct routes to outcompete the rock island for traffic (such as the union pacific and santa fe).","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50671449538858,"sku":"UR-23435-15","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/7075\/4858\/files\/20151119-img_0110_2.jpg?v=1760366707"},{"product_id":"rare-and-original-antique-c-1920-s-cast-brass-doorknob-fabricated-by-the-sargent-hardware-company-for-holabird-and-roche-s-palmer-hotel","title":"rare and original antique c. 1920's cast brass doorknob fabricated by the sargent hardware company for holabird and roche's palmer hotel","description":"\u003cp\u003esingle hard to find and all original early twentieth century heavy cast brass entry size doorknob designed and fabricated by the sargent hardware company for the palmer hotel. the central area features a symmetrical four-leaf floral pattern around a single colorless jewel. the edge of the knob is bordered by an elegant scrolling design. the knob is intact and largely retains plating. the third palmer house hotel (located on the site of the previous two) was completed between 1923-1925 by holabird and roche. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50671544271146,"sku":"UR-23805-16","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/7075\/4858\/files\/20160122-img_0003_2.jpg?v=1760280278"},{"product_id":"two-matching-cast-brass-antique-american-c-1880-s-aesthetic-movement-drum-shaped-oriental-pattern-doorknobs-with-picket-fence-borders","title":"two matching cast brass antique american c. 1880's aesthetic movement drum-shaped \"oriental\" pattern doorknobs with picket fence borders","description":"matching set of c. 1880's antique american ornamental cast brass interior residential doorknobs designed and fabricated by branford lock works, branford, ct. the two doorknobs are designed in the popular \"oriental\" pattern. the passage size doorknobs are in great overall condition. priced for the pair.","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50671693857066,"sku":"UR-24734-16","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/7075\/4858\/files\/20160913-img_0018z_2.jpg?v=1760459368"},{"product_id":"completely-intact-19th-century-antique-american-victorian-era-ornamental-cast-bronze-flush-mount-push-button-residential-doorbell-with-intact-spring-loaded-button","title":"completely intact 19th century antique american victorian era ornamental cast bronze flush mount push button residential doorbell with intact spring-loaded button","description":"single 19th century all original ornamental cast bronze decorative residential push button electric door bell possibly fabricated by yale \u0026amp;

and second leiter buildings, designed for both office and retail use. the isabella was named for the daughters of isabella, a charitable catholic women's group that occupied the uppermost floor upon the building's completion in 1893. the eleven-story steel-framed structure with raft footings and reinforced with rails, contained an unusual framing system involving wind bracing in the form of \"knee braces\" (i.e., short diagonal members at the connections between girders and columns). the isbella building was the first american building to be braced this way. on the main street elevation, the first seven stories formed a cellular curtain with continuous piers rising above the belt course and the second floor line. the windows at the eighth and ninth stories lie under a high hipped roof topped by a central gabled skylight. the building was damaged by a fire (floors 5-6), whereby the hipped roof and five floor below it were removed, leaving a \"stump.\" a portion of the lower facade was partially obscured behind a false facade built in 1964 by saint mary's church (owner of the building at the time). the isabella was designed by the architectural firm of jenney and mundie, with partner william le baron jenney considered one of chicago's most important architects, known as the \"father of the skyscraper.\" interestingly, the isabella's gothic design was a stylistic departure from jenney's earlier \"chicago school\" buildings. the exterior featured elaborate gothic detailing (executed in copper), along with a pitched rooftop that would later be reincarnated in cass gilbert's 1913 woolworth building, known as the \"cathedral of commerce.\" the primary tenant, for whom the building was built for, contributed to the use of unconventional gothic stylistic elements designed by jenney. shortly before demolition in 2004, the building was left largely neglected with nearly all of the upper floors vacated by tenants long ago.","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default

it was considered the tallest building in chicago when completed at height of 215 feet. free from masonry bearing walls, the massive steel skeleton that supports the exterior walls, consists of columns and girders designed by the firm of purdy and henderson and fabricated by phoenix mills. the firm introduced a system of bracing for this building, consisting of four tiers of steel arches reaching from the basement to the roof. each arch, extending from the floor to the ceiling, is firmly joined at the bottom with the portal or arch beneath it and at the ends to the phoenix columns by solid, hot-riveted connections. over 15,000 rivets were driven in the erection of the seventy steel arches that strengthen the structure. the exterior of the old colony building is divided into three divisions, consisting of the base, center  and cornice. the first three stories were built using blue bedford indiana chiseled stone, with the remaining fourteen stories built of roman-shaped brick finished in a cream color smooth as tile. the ornamental \"trimmings\" were made with white glazed terra cotta possibly fabricated by the northwestern terra cotta company, chicago, ills. the old colony is bounded on three sides by regular thoroughfares with the main entrance located on van buren street, featuring an archway two stories in height and proportionately wide. this and the vestibule were paved with ceramic mosaic, and the walls and ceilings were originally finished in scagliola. the interior ceiling is divided into thirty-seven panels by richly moulded beams and connects with the walls by ornamental cornice. the three entrances are accentuated with facsimiles of carved limestone seals of the plymouth colony, known as the \"old colony\" where the building old colony takes its name. the building's interior is finished in italian marble, mosaic and tale, with all the wood work made of quarter-sawed oak. the hand-wrought and cast iron (material which the old

commissioned architects daniel burnham and john wellborn root to draw up plans for a new building located at the corner of state and washington streets (hale became acquainted with burnham \u0026amp; root from his other real estate projects, such as the rookery building). the architectural firm of burnham \u0026amp; root were renowned locally for designing several commercial buildings found throughout downtown chicago. root developed the floating raft system, which enabled designers to build large, steel-frame buildings on a reinforced concrete foundation, a necessity in chicago's moist soil. root and hale agreed that the new building needed to have large glass windows on the first floor with large, open spaces. hale intended to have several stories dedicated to smaller tenants, with offices for doctors and dentists on the uppermost floors. he also specifically emphasized the need for natural lighting on each and every floor. the plan for the reliance building was consistent with the growing concept of the chicago school of architecture, which emphasized the importance of designing to address the function of a building. carson pirie scott \u0026amp; co. was the first tenant of the reliance building, opening a dry goods store on the first floor once it was completed in 1891. after root's untimely death, daniel burnham recruited boston architect charles b. atwood to complete the building with e. c. shankland as lead engineer. atwood was able to implement his own design for the rest of the structure, using white glazed architectural terra-cotta cladding (on the two street facades) fabricated by the northwestern terra cotta company of chicago. burnham's building contractor of choice was george a. fuller, who had built the majority of chicago's tall office building throughout the latter half of the 19th century. the slender sixteen story steel frame skeleton was erected with unusual rapidity (completed over fifteen days in 1894). the reliance building, so named for its functionality, opened in march 1895. it was one of the first skyscrapers to offer electricity and phone service in all of its offices. in its first few decades, it provided office space for merchants and health professionals. the interior contained four passenger elevators located close to the entrance. the german gothic style elevator cages and surrounding grillework, comprised of ornamental iron with bower-barff finish, were fabricated by the winslow brothers of chicago. dark-stained mahogany woodwork was used throughout the building. the stairway, including newel posts, balustrade panels, stringers and risers are made of cast iron, with designs corresponding to and\/or harmonizing with the existing ornamentation (all subjected to the bower-barff process). the building struggled during the great depression, and slowly became dilapidated. subsequent commercial alterations and signage greatly disfigured the lower floors. the original projecting cornice was removed around 1948. after caron pirie scott \u0026amp; co. left the building for the merchandise mart, the first floor was occupied by karroll's, a menswear store. however, the building struggled to maintain tenants on the upper floors. the building continued to fall into disrepair, as the small size of its retail spaces were not appealing to business interests in the late 20th century. the city of chicago made a commitment to revitalize the structure, but city hall could not agree on a plan. the debate became particularly polarized after the 1989 demolition of the nearby mccarthy building, which angered preservationists but satisfied business interests by providing space for a modern office building. finally, in 1994, the mcclier corporation collaborated with the baldwin development company to restore the reliance building; these two groups had recently worked together to rehabilitate the rookery building. the reliance building's rehabilitation was completed in 1999. the former retail space was ultimately converted into a boutique hotel. priced for the lot. measures 4 1\/2 x 6 1\/2 inches.","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default

7th floor guest door skeleton key and and matching fob. the nickel-plated brass key contains lightly incised numbers. the fob has both the room number and hotel name with black enameled finish. the auditorium building is considered one of the best-known designs of dankmar adler and louis sullivan. completed in 1889, the building was built at the northwest corner of south michigan avenue and congress street (now congress parkway). ferdinand peck, a chicago businessman, incorporated the chicago auditorium association in december 1886 to develop what he wanted to be the world's largest, grandest, most expensive theater that would rival such institutions as the metropolitan opera house in new york city. the building was to include an office block and a first class hotel. peck persuaded many chicago business tycoons to get onboard with him, including marshall field, edson keith, martin ryerson, and george pullman. the association hired the renowned architectural firm ofdankmar adler and louis sullivan to design the building. at the time, a young frank lloyd wright was employed at the firm as draftsman, and he likely contributed to the design. the auditorium was built for a syndicate of businessmen to house a large civic opera house; to provide an economic base it was decided to wrap the auditorium with a hotel and office block. hence adler \u0026amp; sullivan had to plan a complex multiple-use building. fronting on michigan avenue, overlooking the lake, was the hotel (now roosevelt university) while the offices were placed to the west on wabash avenue. the entrance to the auditorium is on the south side beneath the tall blocky eighteen-story tower. the rest of the building is a uniform ten stories with load-bearing outer walls and an exterior organized in the same way as h.h. richardson's marshall field warehouse. the interior embellishment, however, is wholly sullivan's, and some of the details, because of their continuous curvilinear foliate motifs, are among the nearest equivalents to european art nouveau architecture .the auditorium is a heavy, impressive structure externally, and was more striking in its day when buildings of its scale were less common. when completed, it was the tallest building in the city and largest building in the united states.one of the most innovative features of the building was its massive raft foundation, designed by adler in conjunction with engineer paul mueller. the soil beneath the auditorium consists of soft blue clay to a depth of over 100 feet, which made conventional foundations impossible. adler and mueller designed a floating mat of crisscrossed railroad ties, topped with a double layer of steel rails embedded in concrete, the whole assemblage coated with pitch. the resulting raft distributed the weight of the massive outer walls over a large area. however, the weight of the masonry outer walls in relation to the relatively lightweight interior deformed the raft during the course of a century, and today portions of the building have settled as much as 29 inches. this deflection is clearly visible in the theater lobby, where the mosaic floor takes on a distinct slope as it nears the outer walls. in the center of the building was a 4,300 seat auditorium, originally intended primarily for production of grand opera. in keeping with peck's democratic ideals, the auditorium was designed so that all seats would have good views and acoustics. the original plans had no box seats and when these were added to the plans they did not receive prime locations. housed in the building around the central space were an 1890 addition of 136 offices and a 400-room hotel, whose purpose was to generate much of the revenue to support the opera. while the auditorium building was not intended as a commercial building, peck wanted it to be self-sufficient. revenue from the offices and hotel was meant to allow ticket prices to remain reasonable. in reality, both the hotel and office block became unprofitable within a few years. on october 5, 1887, president grover cleveland laid the cornerstone for the auditorium building. the 1888 republican national convention was held in a partially finished building where benjamin harrison was nominated as a presidential candidate. on december 9, 1889, president benjamin harrison dedicated the building and opera star, adelina patti, sang ‘home sweet home’ to thunderous applause. sullivan and adler had also opened his offices on the 16th and 17th floors of the auditorium tower. the chicago symphony orchestra debuted on october 16, 1891, and made its home in the auditorium theatre until moving to orchestra hall in 1904. the opera company renting the accommodation moved to the civic opera house in 1929, and the auditorium theatre closed during the great depression. in 1941, it was taken over by the city of chicago to be used as a world war ii servicemen's center. by 1946, roosevelt university moved into the auditorium building, but the theater was not restored to its former splendor. in 1952, congress parkway was widened bringing the curb to the southern edge of the building. to make room for a sidewalk, some ground-floor rooms and part of the theater lobby were removed and a sidewalk arcade created. on october 31, 1967, the auditorium theatre reopened and through 1975, the auditorium served as chicago's premier rock venue. it was declared a national historic landmark by the u.s. department of the interior in 1975. the building was equipped with the first central air conditioning

chicago c. 1913 historically important conway building interior office door with hand-painted gold leaf lettering","description":"early 20th century salvaged chicago interior varnished birch wood office door with hand-painted lettering removed from the historically important conway building (now burnham center). the richly grained door with nicely aged varnished finish reads, \"m. greene\/president\/private\" in shadowed lettering with crazing evident. great overall condition. the burnham center (originally known as the conway building) was built on the site of the former chicago opera house (built in 1885). the conway building was a real estate project resulting from the estate of marshall field, who had died in 1906. field requested that his $83 million estate be invested in chicago real estate until his grandson, marshall field iii, turned fifty in 1943. field's estate was invested in existing property, in addition to funding three major projects - the pittsfield building (1927), and the field building (1934). daniel burnham was a frequent associate of field, designing an annex to the marshall field and company building (1892) and the field museum of natural history (1900). burnham, with frederick p. dinkelberg, completed his design for the building shortly before leaving chicago in april 1912; he died in germany two months later. the building resembles burnham's flatiron building in new york city: both buildings are twenty-one stories, have rounded corners, and are decorated in a beaux-arts style. both buildings are thought to be influenced by the palazzo di propaganda fide in rome. ernest r. graham, peirce anderson, and edward probst assumed control of the project on april 30. it was completed under the auspices of graham, burnham \u0026amp; co. (a precursor of graham, anderson, probst \u0026amp; white) in 1913 . Door is 38\" wide x 82\" tall x 2\" thick.","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50671868576042,"sku":"UR-23629-17","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0959\/7075\/4858\/files\/20170505-20170505-4v0a9416_2.jpg?v=1760287455"}],"url":"https:\/\/urbanremainschicago.com\/collections\/doors-hardware.oembed?page=20","provider":"Urban Remains Chicago","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
