updated 11/2023
Note: All items in the post are original and mustly purchased 
by Ebay unless otherwise mentioned

Let's Begin with ...
A Township of Lake View Book
 originally published in 1879 
this book is a reprint

this publisher re-produces vintage text 

The Township Era Documents
A Township 1857-1887
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."
Chimney Pot
I purchased this artifact from Urban Remains.
All original and completely intact antique American Victorian era residential rooftop chimney pot or top, comprised of unglazed buff-colored terra cotta or baked clay. the multi-faceted salvaged chicago chimney pot contains an embossed ring and louvered top. chimney pots are placed on top of the chimney to inexpensively extend the length of the chimney, and to improve the chimney's draft. a chimney with more than one pot on it indicates that there is more than one fireplace on different floors sharing the chimney. nicely aged patina. the oversized chimney pot was executed by the Northwestern Terra Cotta Company, Chicago, Ills.
