Iglehart House
The Iglehart House is an Italianate style house in the Morgan Park neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, United States, and one of the city's oldest surviving buildings. Located at 11118 S. Artesian Avenue, the original portion of the house in the back was built in 1857 by an unknown architect for Charles D. Iglehart, whose farmstead comprised the land now bounded by 111th, 115th, and Rockwell streets and Western Avenue. Iglehart's daughter Mary, who was born in the house in 1857, is the first child whose birth is recorded in what would become the village of Morgan Park. Iglehart was one of the founders of The Church of the Mediator, whose first building was built in 1889 at 110th and Hoyne Avenue on land that was donated for it by the Blue Island Land and Building Company. Due to the space required of a growing family, the two-story front portion of the house was added in the 1870s. It was designated a Chicago Landmark on July 13, 1994.
Chicago Sun-Times
The "Chicago Sun-Times" claims to be the oldest continuously published daily newspaper in the city. That claim is based on the 1844 founding of the "Chicago Daily Journal", which was also the first newspaper to publish the rumor, now believed false, that a cow owned by Catherine O'Leary was responsible for the Chicago fire. The "Evening Journal", whose West Side building at 17–19 S. Canal was undamaged, gave the "Chicago Tribune" a temporary home until it could rebuild. Though the assets of the "Journal" were sold to the "Chicago Daily News" in 1929, its last owner Samuel Emory Thomason also immediately launched the tabloid "Chicago Daily Illustrated Times".
