I found this very fascinating to hear of all the various cultures and things that occurred. And the art school and the residential facilities for the young women. I wonder was Henrotin Hospital there then, too? I imagine that it was. And there was a very small Elementary School close by in that area. The name of it was Sexton, and l May have only been there for one semester. I can’t really remember now. <br />#WOWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698674352470153088.post-29785120117508716652022-12-18T15:01:16.401-06:002022-12-18T15:01:16.401-06:00I really enjoy hearing about founding women of Chi...I really enjoy hearing about founding women of Chicago that you write about.
