History
After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, State Street (anchored by Marshall Field's) in the downtown Loop, especially the Loop Retail Historic District, was the city's retailing center. The Great Chicago Fire was a Conflagration that burned from Sunday October 8 to early Tuesday October 10 1871 killing hundreds and destroying about four square miles in State Street is a major north-south thoroughfare in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Marshall Field's ( Marshall Field & Company) was an iconic Chicago Illinois, Department store that grew to become a major chain before being acquired Population According to the 2000 Census, 16388 people live in the Loop Loop Retail Historic District is a shopping district within the Chicago Loop community area in, United States. [3] The convenience of mass transit including streetcars and elevated trains, supported a retail corridor along State Street from Lake Street to Van Buren Street. A tram, tramcar, trolley, trolley car, or streetcar is a railborne vehicle, of lighter weight and construction than a Train The 'L' (variously and sometimes, styled "L" El EL or L) is a Rapid transit system that serves the city of Lake Street is an east-west arterial road in Chicago and its suburbs [3] By the 1920s, commuter suburbs began to have significant retail districts. [3] Prior to the bascule bridge construction, swing bridges across the river were open for ship traffic during half the daylight hours. The Bascule Bridge is a paved one-lane highway bridge in Westport, Massachusetts, USA. A swing bridge is a Movable bridge that has as its primary structural support a vertical locating pin and support ring at or near to its center about which the turning [4] The Rush Street Bridge was the swing bridge for this area. [5] The opening of the Michigan Avenue Bridge in 1920 created a new commercial district. [3] After 1950, suburban development reduced the role of the Loop's daily significance to many Chicagoans as downtown retail sales slipped. However, the Magnificent Mile kept a luxury shopping district close to the central business district. [6]
The Magnificent Mile was actually part of Daniel Burnham's Plan of Chicago. Daniel Hudson Burnham, FAIA ( September 4, 1846 &ndash June 1, 1912) was an American Architect and Urban planner. The Burnham Plan is an Essay, principally authored by Daniel Burnham in 1909 entitled The Plan of Chicago. [1] It was constructed during the 1920s to replace Pine Street, which had formerly been lined with factory and warehouses near the river and fine mansion and rowhouse residences farther north. A factory (previously manufactory) or manufacturing plant is an industrial Building where workers manufacture goods A warehouse is a commercial Building for Storage of Goods. Warehouses are used by Manufacturers Importers Exporters A mansion is a large dwelling House. The word itself derives (through Old French) from the Latin word mansus (the perfect passive participle In Architecture and City planning, a terrace(d or row house or townhouse (though the latter term can also refer to Patio houses [1] The earliest building constructions varied in style, but challenged new heights in construction. [1]
After the Great Depression and World War II, Arthur Rubloff and William Zeckendorf bought or controlled most of the property along this stretch of the avenue and supported a plan by Holabird & Root construct new buildings and renovation of old ones that took advantage of new zoning laws. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including William Zeckendorf Sr (c 1905-1976 was one of the United States' prominent Real estate developers Through his development company of Webb and Knapp (for which The architectural firm of Holabird & Roche was founded in Chicago in 1880 Zoning is a term used in Urban planning for a system of land-use Regulation in various parts of the world including North America the United Kingdom [1] Soon the property values driven by the luxury shopping districts were pricing out the nearby artists of Towertown, just south west of the Chicago Water Tower. The Chicago Water Tower is a contributing property in the Old Chicago Water Tower District Landmark district [7] Having acquired most of the rights to property along the Magnificent Mile at Depression-level prices, Rubloff and Zeckendorf successfully developed and promoted the area until it became one of the most prestigious addresses of the city. That distinction continues to hold today,[1] and spurred the continuing erection of more high-rise apartments and new investment along the Magnificent Mile and throughout the Near North Side. [8]
The opening of the 74-story Water Tower Place in 1975 marked the return of Chicago to retailing prominence. Water Tower Place is a large urban, mixed-use development comprising a 758000 sq ft Shopping mall and 74 story Skyscraper in Chicago [3] By 1979, the State Street corridor commercial corridor had lost its commercial vitality and was closed to street traffic for renovation including sidewalk widening until 1996.
