Stories like these occurred in prisons and mental institutions all around the world. The…

On October 8th, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire began. It burned down homes, killed hundreds, and demolished buildings. $200 million worth of buildings were destroyed.

I have chosen to write about the Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois. The place in question is a large, modern building. Its exterior has a looming presence, as though it were a stadium or a shopping mall rather than a church. The abundance of entrances and sections make the church a difficult place to navigate. Each entrance has its own parking lot, leading to a separate wing of the structure. Surrounding the building is a beautiful landscape, with lawns, pathways, and…

THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE OF 1871 Chicago was a booming community with some of the finest and most modern building in the country, 59,500 buildings to be exact.
