She notes neighbor bluffs, intimidation, and possible racial motives, praising the Hyde Park Kenwood Community Conference tenant union for guidance and urging others to seek help.
Readers learn the eight panel skylight once housed in Adler House, saved from demolition after a half inch amber glow revealed its value. The house at 51st and Greenwood, linked to Counselman and Root, was torn down for a larger temple wing amid the KAM Isaiah Israel merger. The article notes Root’s architectural lineage and the Adler connection to Chicago’s glass and historic design legacy.
At the temple the glass panels, praised for geometric simplicity, are linked to Mr. Root’s influence five years earlier. The windows were restored by Gianinini and Hilgart, descendants of Wright’s glassmaker, and installed as a light fixture by co architect Ron Dirsmith of the new blog.
