Granada Theatre
The Granada Theatre, 6427-41 North Sheridan Road (in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago) was a movie theatre constructed for the Marks Brothers, who, in 1926, were major theatre operators in Chicago. Edward E. Eichenbaum was the principal designer for the architectural firm of Levy & Klein. Eichenbaum also designed the Marbro, Regal, and Century theatres.1
The Marks Brothers operated the theatre until 1934, when Balaban and Katz purchased the theatre. That firm eventually became ABC-Great Lakes Theaters and operated the theatre until 1973. Up until the mid-eighties, it was used sporadically for rock concerts.
Demolition
Despite all attempts to save it, the theatre was purchased by Senior Life Styles Corporation, who demolished the building for a planned apartment/commercial structure.2
Today
The new 16 story apartment tower & shopping arcade constructed in the early 1990's was originally named "Granada Center", in a poor tribute to the beautiful movie palace it so blandly replaced. There are 12 floors of student apartments over a base of retail & university offices.
Granada Center was eventually purchased by Loyola University and became student housing, and was renamed "Fordham Hall", thereby removing any connection to its past.
Much speculation remains today as to why the theatre was demolished. It has been said that it was purposely allowed to deteriorate which would justify its demolition. Speculation remains that Loyola University wanted the property to expand (note), which considering they now own the tower that replaced it, is a more likely scenario.

Madonna Della Strada Chapel
Madonna Della Strada Chapel
Madonna Della Strada is the namesake of the chapel motherchurch of the Jesuit Province of Chicago (one of the largest Jesuit provinces) and sits on the campus of Loyola University Chicago in the community of Rogers Park. It was built on the lakefront with the waters of Lake Michigan directly at its front doorstep. The church was designed and built at a time when it was anticipated that Lake Shore Drive would be extended and pass directly in front. That project was abandoned. Historical restoration and renovation was initiated in the spring and completed in the fall of 2004.
Several chapel churches in Latin America were named after the chapel church in Chicago, as a tribute to Loyola University Chicago Jesuit and student missionaries.
During Loyola's 10 Year Renewal Effort there will be improvements made to the chapel that will allow Alumni to hold marriages in the facility.
The chapel underwent extensive interior renovations that were completed in the summer of 2007. Significant elements of this project include a new marble floor, new liturgical furnishings, and restoration of the art deco stations of the cross painted beneath the windows in the side walls. A new three-manual pipe organ is currently under construction by the Indianapolis organ building firm of Goulding & Wood, Inc. Installation of the organ in the rear gallery is scheduled for late summer of 2008.

Mundelein College
Mundelein College
Mundelein College was a private, independent, Roman Catholic women's college in the United States. Located in the Rogers Park and Edgewater neighborhoods of Chicago, Illinois, Mundelein College was once the largest Roman Catholic women's college. Founded and administered by the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mundelein College was famous for pioneering women's studies and women's leadership programs now taught in most colleges and universities throughout the world.
In 1991, Mundelein College became an incorporated college of Loyola University Chicago, a member institution of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.
Establishment
On November 1, 1929, exactly three days after the stock market crash that heralded the start of the Great Depression, Sister Mary Justitia Coffey and Mother Mary Isabella Kane of the BVM Sisters presided over the groundbreaking of the landmark Mundelein College Skyscraper at 1020 West Sheridan Road in Rogers Park. Mundelein College was the first college in the world to be housed in a modern high-rise building. The building is now known as the Mundelein Center of Loyola University.
On June 3, 1931, the Skyscraper was dedicated in a ceremony to open its doors for the first time. The Art Deco building is fifteen stories high with two towering and striking statues at the entrance, acting as a beacon of invitation to opportunities never before imagined for women. The statues are the angels Uriel ("Light of God") and Jophiel ("Beauty of God"). Uriel holds the book of wisdom and points to a cross in bas-relief on the fourteenth floor. Jophiel holds the planet Earth and lifts the torch of knowledge. Though the figures are male, after the building was transferred to the ownership of Loyola University in 1991 (see below), students began calling the pair Thelma and Louise, which was released that year.[1]
The Mundelein College building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Innovation
Not only did Mundelein College pioneer women's studies and women's leadership programs, it also pioneered continuing education programs designed for adults who had previously dropped out of college. In 1969, Mundelein College became the first school to structure a master's program facultied completely by women holding doctoral degrees. The Graduate Program in Religious Studies became a model for other women's colleges throughout the nation. In 1972, Mundelein College established the Hispanic Institute. The first school of its kind, it offered encouragement and support for bilingual and bicultural education in the various Chicago neighborhoods. The institute offered courses for people wishing to work in those neighborhoods with Hispanics.
Recognition
U.S. News & World Report cited Mundelein College as one of the top liberal arts colleges in the United States. The college ranked sixteenth among all women's colleges in the nation and second among liberal arts colleges in the state of Illinois for the number of women graduates who went on to obtain the Ph.D. degree.
Incorporation
In 1991, Mundelein College became an incorporated college of neighboring Loyola University Chicago. The Jesuit institution began to manage the BVM Sisters' college buildings: Skyscraper, Coffey Hall, Piper Hall (now often called "the Mansion") and the Jeanne and Joseph Sullivan Center.
Even though the BVM Sisters retired from their administration of Mundelein College, their ideals and values continued through the Gannon Center for Women and Leadership, established by Loyola University Chicago. The Gannon center is host to the Gannon Scholars program, a leadership training organization for 20 female Loyola students. The scholars organize service projects as well as work to create awareness on the campus of women's issues. The center also continues to teach courses and chaplain to the spiritual needs of Loyola University Chicago students.

Loyola University Chicago
Loyola University Chicago is a private co-educational religious-affiliated university established in Chicago in 1870 as Saint Ignatius College. It was founded by the Roman Catholic religious order of the Society of Jesus and bears the name of the Jesuit patron, Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Loyola is one of twenty-eight member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities and, with its current enrollment of more than 15,000 students, is one of the largest Jesuit Universities in the United States. [4] Loyola is considered one of the 262 "national universities" by US News & World Report, with a ranking of 112.[5].
Beginnings and expansions
Founded in 1870 as the St Ignatius College on Chicago's West Side. In 1908 the School of Law was established as the first of the professional programs. St Ignatius College changed its name to Loyola University in 1909, while also adding the Stritch School of Medicine. 1923 saw the affiliation of the Chicago College of Dental Surgery with Loyola University, later to be known as Loyola University School of Dentistry (no longer open). In 1934 West Baden College affiliates itself with Loyola University, later to be known as the Bellarmine School of Theology then the Jesuit School of Theology in Chicago. Loyola University established the School of Nursing in 1935, the first fully accredited collegiate school of nursing in the state of Illinois. Loyola then opened the Rome Center for Liberal Arts in 1962, the first American university sponsored program in Rome. 1969 saw the establishment of the School of Education and the opening of the Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood. In 1979 the School of Nursing is renamed the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing. The most recent expansion was the 1991 acquisition of neighboring Mundelein College from the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Main campuses
Loyola University is anchored at the Lake Shore Campus (on the shore of Lake Michigan) in Rogers Park, the northernmost neighborhood of the city of Chicago. Loyola has developed a ten year master plan that is designed to revitalize the community by adding an updated arts center as well as a retail district called "Loyola Station" near the CTA's Loyola 'L' stop. Parts of this plan are in doubt as they rely on public tax money, and Article 10 of the Illinois Constitution prohibits any public money for any reason to a religious institution. Among many others, the science departments are located on this campus. Loyola also has a Water Tower Campus in downtown Chicago on the Magnificent Mile of North Michigan Avenue, steps away from such landmarks as the Water Tower (one of the few structures to survive the Great Chicago Fire) and the John Hancock Center (one of the tallest buildings in the United States). The School of Business Administration, School of Social Work, and the Law School are located at the Water Tower Campus (previously Lewis Towers), and many other classes are held at this campus.
Chicago's Jesuit university also boasts a campus in Rome, Italy. Loyola University Chicago Rome Center was established in 1962 on the site of the 1960 Summer Olympics grounds. It moved to several locations in Rome until finally settling in Monte Mario on the Via Massimi, one of the most affluent districts of the Italian capital. The campus offers a full academic year for Chicago-based Loyola University students wishing to study abroad.
Loyola University Chicago has a medical school, the Stritch School of Medicine, and a hospital and medical center associated with them, all located on a campus in Maywood, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago. The former Mundelein College is located just south of the Lake Shore Campus. The former Niles campus no longer exists.
Religious education
Religious education is still one of Loyola University's hallmarks as home to Saint Joseph College Seminary as well as the Jesuit First Studies program.
Loyola's First Studies Program is one of three in the country, with Fordham University and Saint Louis University housing the other two. During this three year period, Jesuit Scholastics and Brothers generally study philosophy and some theology. First Studies is one part of an eleven-year formation process toward the Jesuit priesthood. This program is administered by the Chicago Province Society of Jesus.
Saint Joseph College Seminary serves the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago and provides vocational training to candidates of diocesan priesthood. Loyola University also provides rigorous religious education for those seeking careers in lay ministry with the Loyola University Pastoral Institute as well as degree opportunities in interdisciplinary Catholic studies.
