[edit] skyscraper trademark?

I can find no evidence that anybody registered the name Skyscraper as a trademark associated with the Mundelein College Skyscraper so I have changed 'trademark' to 'landmark', which the building was because of the high pitched roof on its tower. --Theo (Talk) 20:26, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] skyscraper location in Rogers Park, Chicago

The address given for Mundelein College Skyscraper Building in the National Register of Historic Places is 6363 N. Sheridan Rd., which would imply that it's south of Devon (6400 N), but, per Zagalejo's comment in Talk:List of Registered Historic Places in Chicago "that address is kind of misleading". Paraphrasing from there: What happens is that Sheridan shifts west at exactly that point, and briefly merges with the east-west street of Devon. The Mundelein building is still north of the 6400 N line. It seems, however, that the NRHP's address of 6363 N. Sheridan Rd. for the skyscraper (which Google maps shows is south of Devon hence in Edgewater, Chicago), is actually an administrative address of the former Mundelein College, while the skyscraper is north of it. In fact the Google map shows that the current Loyola University Lakeshore Campus is located north of Devon and a short east-west section of Sheridan (which puts it in Rogers Park, Chicago). doncram (talk) 20:24, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
