Chicago’s First Subway: Presented by Mike Harrington Friday, August 21 1:00 p.m., Community Room
Recently, several of my Park Place friends asked if I would please give another presentation about Chicago’s history, the construction of Chicago’s State Street Subway, completed in 1943, and, of course, my father, Philip Harrington’s role in that great public works project. I had done so nine years earlier, and my friends here seemed to have enjoyed the story. The timing is good from my perspective, as I had been conducting some additional research and recently, with the help of the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Chicago, found an important plaque commemorating the opening of the South Side sewage treatment plant in 1937, which contained my father's name as “Chief Engineer.” I also wanted to answer one question that had been troubling me for many decades. The question is, “Why was Philip Harrington selected to be the designer, builder, and operator of Chicago’s first subway?” Come along and learn the answer.
