Wilko 170520
1000 pieces, used and complete
73 x 43.5 cm
A surprisingly good quality jigsaw from Wilko (formerly Wilkinson Hardware Stores), the homewares and household goods store chain. We don't go in for this kind of subject matter as a rule, but as it was a donation from Mike's son Andy we were happy to tackle it. I don't know how long it took Andy and family to complete, but it was the work of a couple of days for our two-person (plus one bear!) team. There's no clue as to the location of the cottage in the picture but it has the 'feel' of a Cotswold building.

The South Side Community Art Center at 3831 S. Michigan Ave. opened in 1940 with a show of well-known local painters and sculptors: Henry Avery, William Carter, Charles White, Archibald Motley, Jr., Joseph Kersey, Margaret and Bernard Goss, William McBride, among others. Eleanor Roosevelt dedicated it in May 1941 in a ceremony that was broadcast nationally via the CBS radio network. Celebrities attending included actress Ethel Waters and Howard University professor Alain Locke.
NOTE: Plans were approved in July 2024 for the expansion and renovation of the South Side Community Arts Center at 3831 S. Michigan Ave. The project will combine the existing midblock site with the two lots to the north of the existing property. Designed by Future Firm, the project will renovate the landmarked home and build a three-story addition on the back of the property connected to the house. On the exterior, the landmarked home will get a new cornice and windows as well as masonry and roof repairs. The interior landmarked spaces will be retained in the house. A coach house at the back of the site will be demolished. As part of the reconfiguration, the home and addition will get new galleries, meeting rooms, archive space, and other spaces. Historical information indicates that the wooden planks of the Burroughs Gallery used to be much lighter, so the team plans to remove the stain to bring it back to its original state. Other non-original finishes including tile and paint will be removed to restore the original condition of interior spaces. To connect the new addition to the historic home, a small kitchen wing will be demolished. The portion north of the home will be a two-story structure clad in rainscreen paneling. The addition will step up to three stories behind the house and be clad in glass curtain wall. The small portion just south of the home will have rainscreen paneling on the first two floors and glass curtain wall on the third floor.
NOTE: A demolition permit was issued for the coach house was issued in April 2025.
Side
Side, with its long history, has accumulated a wealth of archaeological ruins for exploration. The well-preserved city walls provide an entrance to the site through the Hellenistic main gate of the ancient city even though this gate is badly damaged. The second gate is the Monumental Gate, flanked by the marble nymphaion, an elaborate three storey fountain structure decorated with marble reliefs, and supplied by the Manavgat River 18 miles away by means of a system of tunnels and aqueducts. A colonnaded street with many of the marble columns still standing leads to the Monumental Gate beside which is an double stepped podium with an elegant but empty niche bearing a dedicatory inscription to the Emperor Vespasian. The niche originally housed a statue and later on a fountain.
Immediately to your left is the amphitheatre, a mammoth structure which is the most complete ruin at Side and the largest in the Roman style in the region. It could seat around 15,000 people and some seats still contain the inscriptions of patrons’ names. Unlike other Hellenistic theatres that were traditionally carved into the side of a hill, this theatre was erected on flat land and its sheer vertical dimensions were supported by an infrastructure of vaults and arches - a construction unique to the Eastern Mediterranean. The theatre was subsequently altered by the Romans to accommodate gladiators and lions when a thick wall was erected on the lower levels to protect the spectators. You can walk through the seating area, but you can also walk underneath the seats, in the tunnels and ramps through which the spectators would have entered. The one part of the Side amphitheatre which is not intact is the stage, only a part of which is still standing. Over time the arch has collapsed onto the stage and the Proscenium is a jumble of loose blocks. In the 5th century, the theatre was used as an open-air basilica.
The agora, the market place and site of Side’s second-century slave market, and the circular foundations and some of columns of the marble Temple of Tyche from the 2nd century BC are still visible in front of the amphitheatre. The state agora is visible within the sand dunes of the eastern beach at Side. It is an amazing site, surrounded by columns which held a giant cross in the centre during the Byzantine period. It would have been decorated with copies of Greek statues, some of which remain on display in the Side Museum which is housed in the remains of the public bath house. There may also have been a library at this site.
The Temples of Apollo and Athena are adjacent to the ancient harbour which is located on the southeast part of the peninsula. Of these twin structures, built at the end of the 2nd century, it is the partially reconstructed Temple of Apollo that has become Side’s most photographed structure; its fine marble columns frame the sparkling blue of the sea just a stone’s throw away. Unfortunately, the site is now surrounded by barricades while extensive renovation work is carried out, and this rather spoils the otherwise amazing views. The remains of the temples are carefully arranged on the ground outside the barricade and on closer inspection many of these still depict faces, figures and calligraphy. Near the temples is a Byzantine Basilica, a 5th century structure that was built using some of the masonry from the two temples. In the 8th or 9th century, a small church was built in the nave of the ruined basilica.
The experience of entering Side by car and watching from the window as Roman ruins nearly 2000 years old fly by, is simply unforgettable.

The stand at 2375 W. Armitage Ave. has been a local favorite for decades. The "Family Tradition Since 1893" refers to the Ladany family, founders of the Vienna Sausage Co. during the World's Columbian Exposition.
