July 22, 1985 -- TIshman Realty and Construction Company, Incorporated and Japan Air
Lines Development announce plans to build a 450-room luxury hotel on the north
side of the Chicago River. Scheduled to
open in June of 1987 on the northwest corner of Dearborn Street and the river,
the hotel is expected to cost $70 million.
The firms of Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, Inc. and Takyama and
Associates, Inc. project a 350,000 square foot hotel with a 100-seat gourmet
French restaurant, a 150-seat Japanese restaurant, and two lounges totaling 160
seats. The hotel will also feature a
9,000 square-foot ballroom and a smaller 4,000 square-foot gathering hall. The announcement of the new hotel follows the
start of the 35-story Quaker Tower in the same area, a tower that will house
the new headquarters for Quaker Oats Company, scheduled to move from the
Merchandise Mart in early 1987. In January of 1997 the Hotel Nikko became the Westin River North Chicago and away went Benkay, the Hotel Nikko's Japanese-style restaurant.
July 22, 1897: The formal ceremonies dedicating the Logan Monument in Grant Park are held, beginning a 1 p.m. After the two-hour dedication ceremony, guns sound on the shore and from ships on the lake, and a parade of 10,000 marchers begins at Twelfth Street and Michigan Avenue and moves north on Randolph, west to State, south to Adams, west to Dearborn, north to Washington, west to La Salle, south to Jackson, finally ending at Michigan Avenue. Mrs. Logan, the general’s widow, is received that evening at the Coliseum with a fireworks display and band concert preceding that event. Of Augustus St. Gaudens’ equestrian statue of General Logan, the Chicago Daily Tribune writes, “In the statue of General Logan St. Gaudens has chosen as the dominant idea the expression of courage, the martial courage, which is born of patriotism and indomitable will.” The above photo shows the dedication ceremony on that July day in 1897.
