Book Synopsis Chicago's Englewood Neighborhood by : Maria Lettiere Roberts
Download or read book Chicago's Englewood Neighborhood written by Maria Lettiere Roberts. This book was released on 2002. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once known as Junction Grove, the rich history of Englewood began in the mid-1800s as the area quickly developed into a rail and commerce crossroads. Junction Grove changed its name to Englewood in 1868, and in 1889, it became part of the City of Chicago. With its cross streets at 63rd and Halsted, the four railroad stations, and the 63rd Street 'L' stop, Englewood has long been a transportation hub of the south west side. This easy access helped to make Englewood one of the largest outlying business districts in the country for much of the first half of the 20th century. But Englewood has changed over the years. Now a struggling urban area, it is nevertheless known for its grassroots organizations and strong sense of community, on the forefront of revival.Chicago's Englewood Neighborhood: At the Junction explores the history of the people, places, commerce, and community that have created this ever-changing neighborhood.

In the course of time he went through the various grades until he finally reached the position of conductor of the express train which carried the major part of the commuters to and from New York. This was nicknamed the "Gospel Train," and Mr. Blauvelt was addressed as "Dominie." Mr. Blauvelt was a man of fine character, he was courteous in manner, very careful of the school children who came to Englewood from up the road, knew his regular passengers by name and always had a word of friendly morning greeting, which was returned in kind. In 1894 he was ordained as a minister of the Methodist denomination. He preached his first sermon in the Piermont M. E. church and served as supply in the locality. He had been retired from the railroad service some years before he answered the last roll call. The closing year of the administration brought the usual political ripples on the surface of things. During the year, the city fathers felt themselves cramped, financially, by the passage of a law at Trenton, limiting the tax rate. This law had as its purpose the favoring of railroads and other corporations, whose tax values were fixed at Trenton. It produced, in the end, through the resulting appointment of county boards to equalize taxes as between municipalities, a much more just assessment than had maintained. "Equal Taxation," the cry of the "New Idea' group, led by Everett Colby and George L. Record, found a warm response among the younger republicans of Englewood. At the September primaries, the Colby delegates carried every ward against the regulars, though the movement was beaten in the county and state conventions. As a matter of record, the names of the winning delegates...
