Published by: Schnoor & Fuchs, Put-In-Bay, Ohio / Curteich-Chicago "C.T. American Art" by Curt Teich Co., Chicago, Illinois
Publisher Note:
Curt Teich emigrated to Chicago in 1895. He had worked as a lithographer in Lobenstein, Germany.
He founded the Curt Teich Company in 1898, concentrating on newspaper and magazine printing. He was an early publisher of postcards, but he didn't begin printing them himself until 1908.
According to MetroPostcard.com, "As his competition dwindled, his sales expanded and his American factories would eventually turn out more postcards than any other in the United States. "
The company was best known for their wide range of advertising and postcards of North America. By the 1920s, it was producing so many postcards with borders that they became recognized as a type dubbed "White Border Cards," creating an "era."
Curt Teich started using offset presses in 1907, but it took a number of years before he had offset presses made to his satisfaction, and many more years for him to perfect the method.
His innovations in this printing technique directly led to the production of what we now call "linens" by the early 1930s.
The company aided the war effort during the second world war by also printing many military maps.
Curt Teich eventually turned management of the company over to his son, but he remained active in company operations throughout its history.
Curt Teich died in 1974 and the family business was sold to Regensteiner Publishers who continued to print postcards at the Chicago plant until 1978 when the rights to the company name and processes were sold to the Irish company, John Hinde Ltd. Their California subsidiary now prints postcards under the name John Hinde Curteich, Inc.

Kevin rests after climbing the cliff called "Almost Perpendicular" on Dater Mountain, Harriman Park, New York.
Nothing like getting sick right before your wedding. Yeah. When I was waiting for the doctor today (at the local clinic because I don't have insurance - yay for being poor), I was looking through the old photos on my phone and came across this one. It made me smile at a moment when I was feeling pretty frustrated. It's grainy as all hell, but I remember taking it. I think we saw "The Hangover" that day. And laughed a lot.
Despite any frustrations this week, I am so happy to be feeling happy, grateful, and confident about marrying Joey on Sunday.
I really want to do my TOTW photo tomorrow. I have an awesome goddess chosen - I just hope I can plan it out in time. :)
Anyway. I'm going to take some Nyquil and let my body rest.
From their website: The farm and Museum - Exhibition
The buildings of the farm date from slightly different periods in the 18th- & 19th-centuries. This style of the turf construction was universal in rural areas of Iceland until about 1900, when it was gradually replaced mainly by reinforced concrete, which is typical in most contemporary Icelandic construction today. Extensive turf construction evolved in Iceland owing to the acute shortage of large trees.
Hence the buildings at Glaumbær are comprised of thin shells of wood separated from one another and insulated by thick walls of turf, and roofed with a thick layer of the same material. Icelandic grass grows very thickly, consequently the turf is a strong and enduring combination of roots and soil. A turf building, in districts of moderate rainfall, can last up to a century. The roof must be sloped at the correct angle; if it is too flat, water leaks through and if it is too steep, the turf cracks during spells of dry weather or drains too quickly so the grass does not grow, both resulting in a roof that leaks. The old Icelandic farm was a complex of small separate buildings. The most frequently used were united by a central passageway, while tool & storerooms could only be reached from the outside.

What's the most embarrassing moment you had during a date?
Tonight my date lost her tooth while eating a French fry.
Well... At least it wasn't me.
I'm sure my time will come when I'm older and she will have the same memory.
**Gilfillan** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 80002143, date listed 8/11/1980
MN 67
Redwood Falls, MN (Redwood County)
Gilfillan is located in Paxton Township adjacent to the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad between the towns of Morgan and Redwood Falls. The Gilfillan family operations included, at one time, the home farmstead and 35 individual farms in four Redwood County township Both in common usage, and for the purpose of this nomination, the title "Gilfillan" is used to denote only the complex of buildings that make up the main farmstead: the "home place".
As with virtually all functioning farmsteads, Gilfillan has been continually altered as the processes and products of agriculture have changed since the operation was established in 1880s. However, the general layout of the farmstead, as well as a number of individual structures, has remained constant since the first decades of the century.
Early standing buildings of the farmstead are the main dwelling (ca.l882, somewhat remodeled), the managers dwelling (1916), the bookkeepers dwelling (1916), combination machine shop, garage, and seed storage building (1920), (barn 1916), octagonal well house (1920), and bunkhouse (date uncertain). An office building with pergola leading to the main dwelling and a machine shed were added in the 1930s. A milk house, hog house, garage, (all of concrete), and hen house (of frame) were constructed in the late 1940s and early 1950s. (1)

Jesuit church dating originally from the immediate post-Relief Act period, but almost entirely and magnificently rebuilt in the late nineteenth century. Particularly notable for the richness of the internal architecture and furnishings. Located in the Winckley Square conservation area.The old faith clung on tenaciously in Preston. In 1582 the Lord President of the North wrote to the Bishop of Chester: ‘In your like countries there is plenty of Jesuits and massing priests. I wish I might hear that some preachers are planted there to cross them. I hope before this you have one in Preston’ (Warren, p 10).The Preston Mission was served by the Society of Jesus from 1701. A large (for its time) chapel was opened in 1761 in Friargate (the site of the later, and now demolished St Mary’s). The Catholic James Boswell visited this and found it ‘so filled with seats that I wondered at so much indulgence by the Civil Magistrates (Warren, p.24). This was plundered during the election riots of 1768.In 1773 Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus. However Bishop Challoner, effective head of the Church in England and Wales, was kindly disposed towards the ex-Jesuits and allowed them to continue to serve their missions.In 1776 Mr Joseph Dunn, the famous ‘Daddy Dunn’ arrived at Preston to help lead the Preston Mission, a role he was to fulfil for 51 years. In 1792 (that is, very soon after the Second Relief Act of 1791 legalised the building of public places of Catholic worship), he oversaw the building of a new Chapel in Fishergate. Opened in 1793, this became the church of St Wilfrid.This was a non-conformist-style galleried church of the type that widely prevailed in the immediate post-Relief Act period. Its outer shell survives to this day, and is most discernible at the east end. However, by 1877, when work began on the present church, it was considered very old fashioned, especially compared with the other great churches (St Walburge, St Ignatius, English Martyrs) that had now risen in the town. In 1877 Fr Jackson addressed a public meeting, which was reported as follows:St Wilfrid’s ought at least to be equal if not superior to other churches and they intended to make it so (loud applause)…they were going to give the congregation…a substantial new church, which would be beautiful…It was to be in the Italian style – a truly and emphatically a Jesuit church (applause)…They would sweep through every obstacle. The galleries had been the subject of great difficulty to them…but he might tell them that their present intention was to say ‘goodbye to the galleries’ (applause)…Galleries were a thing of the past; they did not look well; and would, moreover, interfere with the entire structure of the church…’ (Warren, p. 75)The architect or this ‘Truly Roman Church’ was Fr Ignatius Scoles SJ (1834-96), the eldest son of JJ Scoles. He had qualified as an architect before becoming a Jesuit priest in 1860.Bishop O’Reilly of Liverpool presided at the opening of the building on April 25 1880.In 1884 the Jesuits left Church House, the presbytery built by Mr Dunn in 1793, and bought and adapted the present presbytery, which overlooks Winckley Square.In 1890 the plain external walls of the building, incorporating much of the 1793 chapel, were adorned with decorative terracotta, stone and brick detail, in an exuberant Italian Renaissance style, under the direction of S.J.Nichol. The interior was also further embellished with marble work.LIST DESCRIPTION:Roman Catholic church. 1793, rebuilt 1879-80 by Ignatius Scoles and S.J.Nichols. Red brick with much buff terracotta cladding and dressings, slate roof. Nave on north-south axis, with east and west aisles, east chapels and south apse. Italian basilica style. Six-bay nave embraced by tall aisles. High plinth dressed with sandstone, then rusticated terracotta to ground floor level, with bands, frieze and cornice of matching material. The gabled tripartite north front, the centre breaking forwards slightly, has a large round-headed doorway with very elaborate terracotta surround including tympanum with reliefs, and flanking side doors in similar style; a large circular window near the top flanked by monograms and under an enriched pediment, and windows to the tops of the aisles, of 2 round-headed lights, all these with elaborate terracotta surrounds. The west side has high-set round-headed windows with similarly elaborate surrounds.INTERIOR: basilica form, with colonnades of massive Corinthian columns in polished red marble mounted on square plinths of black marble; coffered barrel-vaulted ceiling; marble cladding to the walls and apse, in various hues, including giant Corinthian pilasters; mosaic portraits of saints over arcade to chapel; canted north gallery with ornamental cast-iron balustrade.
