Title
A name given to the resource
At Home in Skokie
Description
An account of the resource
<p>Skokie, Illinois, is a thriving, diverse suburban community of 67,824 (U.S. Census 2020). Much of the housing stock is composed of single-family dwellings, with a healthy mixture of apartments and increasingly, condominiums. Skokie’s earliest settlers were farmers and homesteaders, and their homes were mostly large cabins and farmhouses. There was little industrial development in those early days and population growth was slow. At the turn of the twentieth century, about 500 people lived in Skokie, then called Niles Center.</p>
<p>Skokie’s first housing boom was stimulated by the development of rapid transit and good roads into Chicago in the 1920s. Land speculators saw the possibility of developing the area for apartment buildings with easy access to the city center, and many subdivisions, streets, sidewalks, and utilities were laid out. The population of Skokie was 763 in 1920; by 1930 it was 5,007. The onset of the Great Depression brought all this hopeful activity to a halt; thousands of lots were abandoned and some were eventually used again as farmland.</p>
<p>After World War II, many of these titles were cleared and lot sizes were revised to provide for single-family homes with 40-55 foot frontages. This second housing boom was the definitive one for Skokie; postwar prosperity, population growth, and the rise of the automobile created demand for the kind of single-family housing Skokie was in a position to supply. Skokie’s population in 1940 was 7,172; by 1950 it was 14,752. Once again, transportation was a factor in growth: the Edens Expressway, which opened in 1951, provided a major route to the city for burgeoning automobile traffic from the suburbs.</p>
<p>This part of the story is not unique to Skokie; many formerly rural communities grew into suburbs in the 1940s and 1950s. The development of the suburb and the automobile, the growth in homeownership and geographic mobility, are all extremely important parts of the mid-century American experience, and the histories of individual communities contribute to our understanding of broad historic trends.</p>
<p>Histories of <a href="http://www.idaillinois.org/digital/collection/pfpl/search/">planned communities like Park Forest</a> have found a place in the Illinois Digital Archives, and Sears homes have been documented in the <a href="http://www.idaillinois.org/digital/collection/newgailbord01/search/searchterm/Sears%2C%20Roebuck%20and%20Company/field/organi/mode/exact/conn/and">Elgin Sears House Research Project</a> from Gail Borden Public Library.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Skokie, Illinois, is a thriving, diverse suburban community of 67,824 (U.S. Census 2020). Much of the housing stock is composed of single-family dwellings, with a healthy mixture of apartments and increasingly, condominiums. Skokie’s earliest settlers were farmers and homesteaders, and their homes were mostly large cabins and farmhouses. There was little industrial development in those early days and population growth was slow. At the turn of the twentieth century, about 500 people lived in Skokie, then called Niles Center.</p>
<p>Skokie’s first housing boom was stimulated by the development of rapid transit and good roads into Chicago in the 1920s. Land speculators saw the possibility of developing the area for apartment buildings with easy access to the city center, and many subdivisions, streets, sidewalks, and utilities were laid out. The population of Skokie was 763 in 1920; by 1930 it was 5,007. The onset of the Great Depression brought all this hopeful activity to a halt; thousands of lots were abandoned and some were eventually used again as farmland.</p>
<p>After World War II, many of these titles were cleared and lot sizes were revised to provide for single-family homes with 40-55 foot frontages. This second housing boom was the definitive one for Skokie; postwar prosperity, population growth, and the rise of the automobile created demand for the kind of single-family housing Skokie was in a position to supply. Skokie’s population in 1940 was 7,172; by 1950 it was 14,752. Once again, transportation was a factor in growth: the Edens Expressway, which opened in 1951, provided a major route to the city for burgeoning automobile traffic from the suburbs.</p>
<p>This part of the story is not unique to Skokie; many formerly rural communities grew into suburbs in the 1940s and 1950s. The development of the suburb and the automobile, the growth in homeownership and geographic mobility, are all extremely important parts of the mid-century American experience, and the histories of individual communities contribute to our understanding of broad historic trends.</p>
<p>Histories of <a href="http://www.idaillinois.org/digital/collection/pfpl/search/">planned communities like Park Forest</a> have found a place in the Illinois Digital Archives, and Sears homes have been documented in the <a href="http://www.idaillinois.org/digital/collection/newgailbord01/search/searchterm/Sears%2C%20Roebuck%20and%20Company/field/organi/mode/exact/conn/and">Elgin Sears House Research Project</a> from Gail Borden Public Library.

Dr. Louise Klehm Studio Portrait, circa 1890
Description
An account of the resource
Studio portrait of Dr. Louise Klehm, circa 1890. Dr. Klehm was born to George C. and Eliza Harms Klehm as Amelia Louise Klehm in 1870. Her colorful life took her from Florida, where she volunteered for duty during the Spanish-American War, to Berlin and Vienna where she studied medicine. Dr. Klehm is reported to be the first doctor in practice in Niles Center, Illinois. Also known for her strength of character, Dr. Klehm destroyed her patients unpaid bills on her deathbed. She died in 1941. This photograph appears on page 56 of <a href="http://skokiecentennialbook.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Skokie, 1888-1988: A Centennial History</a>.

Description
An account of the resource
A letter written by George C. Klehm to his daughter, Amelia Louise Klehm, after her completion of Nursing School at Chicago Baptist Hospital in 1896. He discusses her career options and expresses concern at her interest in studying medicine further, becoming a doctor. He suggests that high tuition costs would not be affordable for their large family. Nursing choices are also explored: She could become a nurse for an "eminent physician" in Minneapolis or the Assistant Head Nurse at Chicago Baptist Hospital. George C. Klehm suggests that even though the Assistant Head Nurse would be a smaller salary, it would be the better option because going to an unfamiliar place with someone she does not know may not be safe. He then expresses concern for her health and invites her to come home to take a vacation.
