From Postcards to Photos
to Everything Else - Part One
This is the first of five posts of my private collection on vintage Lake View - this one, Part I & then Part II. The last section of this post is a collection of matchbooks. Part II has a collection of purchased postcards in a post called Lincoln Park, the park due to the fact that there is a Lake View connection to that park. These postcards date at the dawn of the 20th century and are located in
Part II. I have a collection of yearbooks, Student Handbooks, and booklet monthly from Lake View High School in Part II.
I am in the process of photographing selected pages in each yearbook and posting them on my Facebook site called
LakeView Historical. The third post is about the businesses of Lake View from 1929-1935 called the Warner Printing Collection.

A City 1887-1889
These photos are property tax receipts of a K. Langland from 1871-76. He apparently lived on Wrightwood Avenue when the Lake View was a township 1857-87 and City 1887-89, the southern border was Fullerton Avenue. The last two photos is a 1895 township assessor's notice to a property owner. Homes from the old township/city of Lake View was still assessed by the former township. This taxpayer lived on Damen Avenue. The western border of the old township/city was Western Avenue. Some homes are still have the Lake View name on their Cook County property tax notice.

text from Urban Remains
"Original late 19th or
early 20th century American red speckled glazed finish ornamental terra cotta denticle
brick or block salvaged from the facade of St. Boniface School shortly before
its demolition in the 1990's. the early American terra cotta ornament was
originally apart of the facade's elaborate projecting cornice. the panel has
been lightly cleaned and sealed. great for display on a custom mount. the
church, school and rectory - originally serving a German congregation in the
19th century - were designed by notable ecclesiologist and church architect Henry
Schlacks. Mr. Schlacks trained in the firm of Adler and Sullivan and briefly
partnered with Henry Ottenheimer. This piece is a beautiful example of a
utilitarian design that incorporated lively ornamentation and character. the
facade featured five prominent arched arcades with window panes that formed a
trefoil, motif. the terra cotta pilasters were adorned with capitals containing
winged-cherubs. various figural rondels and or rondels with faces adorn the
building’s facade in high relief between the spandrels. after many years the
church released the terra cotta where it was made available for purchase. Urban
Remains holds much of the cornice and capitals. the uniquely finished,
red
speckled terra cotta that was executed
by the Northwestern Terra Cotta company,
Chicago."

for more of my collection
Post Note:
I hope my collection will entice the viewer to explore my extensive blog and learn more of the history of our community that I once called home. Donations (not a non-profit) are wonderful to receive and will be posted in the blog with full credit to the donor.
Important Note:
These posts are exclusively used for educational purposes. I do not wish to gain monetary profit from this blog nor should anyone else without permission from the original source - thanks!
