One year ago this month, PrairieMod was born. In celebration of this joyous event, we've decided to give some special birthday gifts to our readers! To make it fun and see who our biggest fans are, the Squad has put together a little PrairieMod scavenger hunt list of questions highlighting obscure factoids found in our past posts. Cruise around the site and find the answers to the questions listed. Email your answers to us by 11:59 PM next Sunday, February 25 and we'll randomly draw 3 winners from the correct list of answers we receive. The winners will each receive a $25 gift card to Borders. Good luck!
1. One of our all-time favorite stores found in the Chicago land area has several pieces of antique Prairie School furniture on display. What is the name of the store? What is the name of the Prairie School architect who designed the furniture? What is the name of one of the commissions that one of the pieces originates from?
2. We reported on a building's half-century anniversary this last year. What is the nickname of this building and where does this nickname derive from?
3. We posted a few times on one of the year's most controversial building projects. What is the name of the building? Who are the two architects associated with it?
4. What movie was filmed at the John Gillin house? Who was the director? What actors debuted in this movie?
5. Name the building that burned down in the South Loop this last fall. Who designed it and why was 2006 significant for this individual?
Pretty easy, huh? Email those answers to us and cross your fingers! Even though a lot has happened this year, we've got even more exciting things in store for 2007, 2008 and beyond! Look for more in depth PrairieMod Podcasts with architects, historians, designers, etc. We'll also travel to more events and destinations to report back to you about. We're also in the works to start offering PrairieMod approved products for purchase directly to you, our beloved readers! Keep reading and let us know what you think!
