Process for speedily deleting recreated categories[edit]

In the past, when I wanted to speedy delete categories that had previously been deleted at CFD, I would tag them as WP:G4. This didn't work perfectly though because the good editors who work Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as pages previously deleted via deletion discussion don't usually handle cats so I'd come here eventually to have them deleted but it did give me a process. Awhile back, @Liz: raised concerns that tagging with G4 could lead to WP:REDNOT if these were deleted there without first emptying them.

What's the right process for speedily deleting the categories below that were recreated against consensus after a CFD deletion? -

Avoid categories that, by their very definition, will never have more than a few do not have at least five (5) members, unless such categories are part of a large overall accepted sub-categorization scheme, such as subdividing songs in Category:Songs by artist or flags in Category:Flags by country.

Note also that this criterion does not preclude all small categories; a category which does have realistic potential for growth, such as a category for holders of a notable political office, may be kept even if only a small number of its articles actually exist at the present time. Also, subcategories of Category:Works by creator may be created even if they include only one page.

Individually listed non-contributing properties to historic districts on the National Register?[edit]

Generally, when a building is non-contributing to a historic district, we wouldn't care about it for this wikiproject. But I just created the article for the Danish Brotherhood in America Headquarters, which was individually listed in 2016 when it turned 50 years old. The nomination form mentioned that it was within the Gold Coast Historic District (Omaha, Nebraska) but was listed as a non-contributing property because, at the time, it was only 31 years old. I expected to see that text followed with something like "and we're requesting it be added at this time" but it didn't.

The historic district nomination form does list 3717 Harney as non-contributing but doesn't say why. I looked for updates on the Gold Coast Historic District that reclassified the property, but didn't see any. (This wouldn't be a an increase per se, since the building sits squarely within the original boundary.)

Clearly, this is an obscure question, but is this really an individually listed non-contributing property to a historic district?

PRUS[edit]

Thank you for bringing WP:PRUS to my attention. I went back through the NRHP articles I updated in Puerto Rico and fixed quite a few other articles. (In the process I noticed that ping|Mercy11 had corrected a couple too.) The vast majority of United States categories will never have 5+ articles to justify a Category:Insular areas of the United States subcategory though, so I mostly moved them to Caribbean/North American/Global categories.

I wasn't aware of that local consensus and my going against it was totally inadvertent. -

When you notice this type of mistake in the future, it would be super helpful if you could move the article to the right category.. After all, the Henry Klumb House belongs somewhere under the Category:Burned buildings and structures tree. If you turn on WP:HOTCAT, finding alternative categories is a lot quicker.

I'm worried that simply deleting categories will cause readers to have trouble finding Puerto Rican articles.

Thank you for identifying award recipients[edit]

Just saw that you had several notices for award categories and I wanted to thank you for grouping the award recipients together. Since the WP:OCAWARD editing guideline was tightened, I've been working to move this information into the article space. Before nominating award categories, I always copy the contents into a list within the main article so no work is lost.

If my CFD notices ever are cluttering your talk page, just let me know and I'll start omitting them. - \

  • AusTerrapin
Thank you for reaching out and assuming good faith, even though I've clearly frustrated you. I appreciate that. Here is an overly long reply:
  • Categories, Lists, & Templates: Different navigational tools in Wikipedia have different inclusion criteria: for articles it's notability (WP:N/WP:LISTN), for categories it's definingness (WP:DEFINING/WP:OCAWARD), while Templates are for narrow, closely related topics (WP:NAVBOX). WP:CLN forbids deleting one navigational tool because others exist but it doesn't go the other way: just because, say, a category exists doesn't mean you can create a list or template in violation of the relevant guidelines. I need to work on improving the wording of my nominations because the causality I mean to convey is that "this category is not allowed, I want to keep the information, and this same info is allowed in a list." (I do not mean "I created the list therefore the category is no longer allowed [sic]".)
  • All or Nothing: I don't accept that we either keep all award categories or get rid of them all. Nobel Prizes, BAFTAs, Olympic medals, Grammies, and the Order of Australia (including Jesse Martin) are all clearly defining. I do think a majority of award cats are non-definging, especially when I look at the 35 at the bottom of the Emperor Akihito article. I see prominent awards as defining when they magnify fame and non-defining when they just reflect pre-existing fame. (Or, in the case of less prominent awards, the catch-22 I described.)
  • Technical Changes: I really like your idea about nested categories. I'm picturing "Awards+" showing at the bottom of the article and, if you click the plus sign, it expands and you see all the awards. Unfortunately, the Foundation's actual technical change has been that most readers never see the categories or navboxes at all because they use the mobile version which I disagree with emphatically. (This lengthy off Wikipedia article comparing formats mentions the loss of Navboxes but not the loss of categories.) Whether my deletion of categories is warranted or not, the only places mobile readers can navigate now is through stand-alone lists, collapsible lists, See also sections and other links within articles.
I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to contribute the CFD discussion about Young Victorians; that's crumby. We may have to respectfully disagree on the cats but, given that readers increasingly won't see them anyway as they switch to mobile, I'm hoping you share my enthusiasm for having award recipients listed in the article space. -

History UPE[edit]

Information icon Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Specifically, I had concerns about interactions with CartleR255 with these edits 1, 2, 3 & 4 and another editor with this edit A. It can be very frustrating to deal with perceived undisclosed paid editing but it's important to follow the WP:PAID reporting process. Thank you.

Removing police brutality from Spokane Police Department article[edit]

Thank you for starting the article on the Spokane Police Department last year. I'm surprised it took so long for someone to create the article and also surprised the article hasn't brought in more editors to flush out the contents since it's the largest city in Eastern Washington.

The current article is a short stub article with 4 sentences (with 3 citations) and an infobox. I recently tried to improve the article by adding 2 sentences (with 3 citations) about the Death of Otto Zehm, a much longer article about an unarmed disabled man killed by on on duty SPD officer where other officers in the department then tried unsuccessfully to cover up the homicide by altering the security footage. You removed the topic entirely from the article with the edit summary "WP:NPOV and WP:WEIGHT While among the most famous incidents with SPD, it would maybe warrant casual mention in a large article but hardly should be 1/2 the article". By that standard, I'm trying to figure out how a casual editor can help improve short stub articles without completely rewriting them.

If I instead added two sentences (with 3 citations) about what type of police vehicles are used, or the K9 Unit, or the architecture of the the police headquarters, would you have also removed those topics for being half the article? -

Reply[edit]

*RFC There is an open request for comments on proposed changes to WP:OCAWARD. Your input (pro/con/other) is always welcome here. -
  • WP:NOTDUP vs. Template:Cfl I'm wondering if this is a solution in search of a problem. I have nominated a large number of award categories to CFD based on WP:OCAWARD and the nominator and I have respectfully disagreed on a small number of them. With many of my award cat nominations, the correct claim is made that lists, categories, and templates can be complimentary per WP:NOTDUP. There's also been a repeated misunderstanding that the reason I am nominating an award category is because there is also a list.
That has never happened.
It's confusing cause and effect. When you nominate a category in CFD that fails WP:DEFINING you have some different options for a remedy: you can propose not only deletion and merging but also "listifying" the contents using Template:Cfl. Rather than a list being an input into why a category is non-defining, a list can be a potential output for handling the contents of a non-defining category.
Whether or not we agree on this proposal or specific CFD nominations, I do hope my recognition of the roles of categories, lists and templates is clearer. -
What I do see as a major problem is the category clutter caused by non-defining awards categories. Take a look at the train wrecks at the bottom of the Dwight D. Eisenhower, Kate Winslet and Prince Leopold of Bavaria articles. -

reply 2[edit]

  • Different Interpretations of "Exceptions" RexxS, you've done a great job getting to the heart of our differing viewpoints around what we're making an exception to:
The proposal ... seeks to clarify the circumstances where an award category should exist when receiving the award is not a defining characteristic of the article subject.
You read WP:OCAWARD to mean there are "exceptions" where a non-defining category should be retained. I read WP:OCAWARD to mean there are "exceptions" where a list should not be created, but non-notable categories should always be deleted. (I don't know if this brings us closer to consensus but it definitely brings clarity.) -

Reply 3[edit]

We both see the same thing when we look at these award categories where many (most) are non-defining. A handful of retired editors have created thousands of award categories in rapid fire succession (see here, here and here) along with a rotation of new-ish editors who misunderstand WP:NOTDUP to mean that list articles automatically are eligible for a corresponding category.

It takes more time to nominate these categories for deletion than it does to create them from a pre-existing list which has left a large backlog of non-defining award categories awaiting CFD nomination. Within categories for discussion, delete/listify is a pretty consistent outcome. Even where there's controversy, with government medals, the disagreement is over defining-ness. I can't recall anyone ever arguing that a non-defining category should be retained.

The real problem here at the article level though. Take a look at the train wrecks at the bottom of the Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, Kate Winslet and Prince Leopold articles. That level of non-defining category clutter is worth the ongoing effort to remove and WP:OCAWARD should not be rewritten to make that harder. -

Requested Moves[edit]

Metropolitan Club[edit]

{{subst:requested move|Metropolitan Club (New York City)|Per WP:PRECISE and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It's not so much that the phrase "Metropolitan Club" doesn't have a primary topic, it's just that the primary topic varies by context:

Since we have readers from many contexts, I think it makes sense to rename this article and repurpose this page name to a disambiguation. This follows the model of Cosmopolitan Club (New York City)/Cosmopolitan Club. -

  • Note If this passes, links in biographies and other articles will need to be updated, which I'm happy to do. -

Regional Planning Councils[edit]

{{subst:requested move|Florida Regional Planning Councils|Per WP:PRECISE and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This is a Florida specific article but the name combines three current words. If you Google the phrase, the top result is for the National Association of Regional Councils in Washington, D.C. While we don't have an article for that organization yet, the fact that there's a national trade group means there's a lot of these around the country. The proposed name would be more precise so readers would find the content they expect from the title. -

General Land Office[edit]

{{subst:requested move|United States General Land Office|Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, WP:PRECISE, WP:NATURAL. The federal General Land Office was the agency that surveyed and then transferred title to formerly Native American lands in the American west while the Texas General Land Office continues to control most public land in Texas and manages a multi-billion dollar college fund. It's not so much that there isn't a primary topic as there are two for different contexts: if you open a history book and it refers to the GLO, it's going to be this agency that lasted until 1946. But if you're interested in contemporary politics, the Texas agency will be the primary topic: a Google search of "General Land Office" excluding Wikipedia pages had 8 out of 10 for the state agency and, obviously, 10 out of 10 for news articles. The proposed rename was the formal title and serves as a natural disambiguation. -

  • Note If this nomination passes, I'll speedy rename the corresponding categories. -
Closed requested moves (RMs)

Sports in Kansas City[edit]

{{subst:requested move|Sports in the Kansas City metropolitan area|Per WP:PRECISE and WP:NATURAL. The Kansas City metropolitan area includes Kansas City, Missouri, Kansas City, Kansas and a number of suburbs. Since this article covers all three, the proposed naming would the actual scope better than the current name while using a natural disambiguation. (The target is blue because I created a redirect before I decided to request an RM.) -

DuPont High School[edit]

{{subst:requested move|DuPont High School (West Virginia)|Per WP:PRECISE and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. There are a a couple current high schools with similar names (Alexis I. duPont High School & duPont Manual High School), a former high school converted to a middle school (P. S. Dupont High School), as well as a renamed school with a redirect (DuPont de Nemours Private School). Since this school closed decades ago, it really has no claim to be the primary topic. I don't see a WP:NATURAL disambiguation here but, if someone can think of a better rename, I'm open to alternative renames. (If this passes, I'll repurpose the current title as a disambiguation page.)

List of volunteer awards[edit]

subst:requested move|List of volunteering awards|reason=Per WP:PRECISION, WP:NATURAL, and the reverse of WP:C2D.

This list is for awards honoring community service volunteers but there are also medals for honoring military volunteers who voluntarily enlisted. Examples of that type of "volunteering" award includes the Medal for Voluntary Military Service and Canadian Volunteer Service Medal for Korea. The goal of this rename is to help better distinguish between these two similar sounding but very different types of awards.

I just created Category:Volunteering awards for this type of award and Category:Awards and decorations for military volunteers for the other. This rename would align the main article with the category (normally we go the other way) and also match the long-standing Volunteering article.

(Alternatively, if another editor can think of some better way to distinguish between these two types of awards, which might include renaming those categories, I'm always open to other ideas!)

The Annual Steve Biko Memorial Lecture[edit]

subst:requested move|The Annual Steve Biko Memorial Lecture → Steve Biko Memorial Lecture – Per WP:THE and WP:COMMONNAME. The title definitely does not need "The"; see the other articles in Category:Lecture series. In practice, the word "annual" seems to be used for specific lecture years like the 20th Annual or 21st Annual lecture, while generic references to the whole lecture series omit the word like here and here. What do you think would be the best name? -

Petit Jean River Bridge[edit]

Petit Jean River Bridge → Petit Jean River Bridge (Yell County, Arkansas) – Per WP:PRECISE. There are two bridges over the Petit Jean River in Arkansas and both are on the National Register of Historic Places: this one in Yell County and Petit Jean River Bridge (Logan County, Arkansas). Since this bridge was destroyed and the one in Logan County remains, it's hard to claim WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the this structure. Having both articles use the same format seems the most likely to avoid confusion.

Climate change litigation[edit]

Climate change litigation → Climate change case law – Per WP:PRECISE. "Und" is German for "and" which appears dominant in other articles in Wikipedia: 8 of the 8 subcategories under Category:Thurn and Taxis use "and". Sometimes the category creators are less close to the subject than the article editors and, in the Category:Princes of Thurn and Taxis and Category:Princesses of Thurn and Taxis it looks like the articles prefer "and" by about 60 to 2 like with Albert, 12th Prince of Thurn and Taxis and Princess Maria Sophia of Thurn and Taxis.

If this was a strong German phrase I could see more argument for keeping it intact but, according to this article, it's originally based on a transliteration of French anyway. Given all that, a reader for this Wikipedia is more likely to recognize "Thurn and Taxis" per WP:ENGLISH. (Alternatively, if kept, I'll nominate the categories to match this title.)

Thurn und Taxis[edit]

Thurn und Taxis → Thurn and Taxis – "Und" is German for "and" which appears dominant in other articles in Wikipedia: 8 of the 8 subcategories under Category:Thurn and Taxis use "and". Sometimes the category creators are less close to the subject than the article editors and, in the Category:Princes of Thurn and Taxis and Category:Princesses of Thurn and Taxis it looks like the articles prefer "and" by about 60 to 2 like with Albert, 12th Prince of Thurn and Taxis and Princess Maria Sophia of Thurn and Taxis.

If this was a strong German phrase I could see more argument for keeping it intact but, according to this article, it's originally based on a transliteration of French anyway. Given all that, a reader for this Wikipedia is more likely to recognize "Thurn and Taxis" per WP:ENGLISH. (Alternatively, if kept, I'll nominate the categories to match this title.)

China during the Russo-Ukrainian War[edit]

subst:requested move|China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine|reason= The Russian invasion of Ukraine article was recently renamed at this RM nomination. Not sure I would have favored that name but that was the consensus and this article should follow suit so readers know this was the same war. (Also, "and the" is more common than "during the" for other articles under Category:Russian invasion of Ukraine by country.) -

Maccabi Tamra F.C.[edit]

subst:requested move|Maccabi Ironi Tamra F.C. players|reason= ping|Geregen2 submitted a speedy category rename for Category:Maccabi Ironi Tamra F.C. players, which ping|Gonnym objected to, followed by ping|Marcocapelle opening up a full CFD nomination right here, and then this article was boldly renamed by Gonnym, followed by ping|GiantSnowman iVoting in CFD. I suggest a consensus be reached here. -

  • Neutral Nomination is procedural from my end. -

Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry[edit]

subst:requested move|Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (Malaysia)|reason= While the current name is unique in English Wikipedia, the naming of the ministry is very generic and the country may not be clear to readers at first glance. The proposed rename follows WP:TITLEDAB.-

  • Note This article was recently boldly moved in good faith to remove the parenthetical. This nomination proposes to restore the original title. -

Cueva del Indio[edit]

subst:requested move|Cueva del Indio (Las Piedras, Puerto Rico)|reason= This article and Cueva del Indio (Arecibo) are both caves, both in Puerto Rico, and both have native rock art and have similar names so a clear name is critical here. The other article is along the coast and may be a bigger tourist draw but there's no clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. (This page should then be converted to a disambiguation page which will require repointing existing links to the new name.)

Cueva del Indio (Arecibo)[edit]

subst:requested move|Cueva del Indio (Arecibo, Puerto Rico)|reason= Per WP:USPLACE, the article name for the municipality is Arecibo, Puerto Rico and the parenthetical disambiguation should follow. While the shorter name would be clear to readers coming in from other Puerto Rican topics, it would be less obvious for readers interested in caves. -

Expo mascots[edit]

subst:requested move|List of World's Fair mascots|reason= World's fair is the main article here while "Expo" is just a disambiguation page. Also, the bulk of this article is a list and the proposed name follows the format of List of World's Fair architecture. (If this passes I'll speedy rename Category:Expo mascots, which I just created.) -

DArby House[edit]

The Darby House (Dawson Springs, Kentucky) → Darby House (Dawson Springs, Kentucky) – The current name is unnecessarily wordy and goes against WP:DEFINITE and WP:THE.

Ruston (engine builder)[edit]

subst:requested move|Ruston & Hornsby|reason=

Ruston (engine builder) →
"Ruston & Hornsby" redirects here. For other uses, see Ruston & Hornsby (disambiguation).
– This company's history consists of one merger after another followed by name changes so there is no perfect article name here. The current name seems awkward and the proposed name is both a WP:NATURAL disambiguation and comes closer to being WP:COMMONNAME.

Within Wikipedia editors show high regard for the proposed name as there are more than a hundred articles pointing to the article through the Ruston & Hornsby redirect and, even amongst articles pointing directly to Ruston (engine builder), many display that link as "Ruston & Hornsby" for readers (examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Off Wikipedia it's even more stark, with the following results on Google Advanced Search: the phrase "Ruston & Hornsby" + "engine" gets 32,700 hits (link) while "Ruston" + "engine" without "Hornsby" gets only 389 (link).

Tougaloo is a neighborhood in Jackson, Mississippi centered around the campus of Tougaloo College. The demographics of the area reflect being a university town for a historically black college: 96% of the population is African American and 43% are between 18-29 years old.

History[edit]

In the Antebellum Period, the area was a slave plantation owned by cotton planter and slave owner John Williams Boddie who died at the end of the American Civil War.[3] In 1869 the 500-acre former plantation, including the house, was bought for $10,500 by the Freedmen's Bureau and the American Missionary Association to become the campus of a school for Black students who were recently freed from slavery. [4] The area was an unincorporated community until XXX when it joined Jackson including the first portion of Madison County inside the city limits. Despit the annexation, "Tougaloo, Mississippi" remains a valid mailing address for the area, Zip Cod 39174.

Geography[edit]

The neighborhood straddles both sides of County Line Road: the college campus proper is on the north side within Madison County while the adjacent residential and shopping areas are on the south side of the street within Hinds County.

The Polish National Alliance Headquarters is a historic Polish American mutual benefit association building located in the West Town area of Chicago, Illinois.

History[edit]

The Polish National Alliance was founded in 1880 and they completed the building in 1938 which served as their headquarters until 1976. The organization and building were a prominent part of the local Polish culture, including being where the Polish Daily News was published. The PNA subsequently moved their headquarters to 6100 North Cicero Avenue in the Sauganash neighborhood of Chicago.[2]

Following the organization's departure, the building was used by the College of Office Technology, a technical school, for many years. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[3] In 2015, the building was renovated and became the Chicago office of the Studio Gang Architects.[4]

Architecture[edit]

Raymond Hood chicago NRHP 3 stories clad in grey ashlar limestone. brick on sides 

sharply rectilinear and cubic in form, typical of 1930s Art Deco architecture.

The building is clad in ashlar Indiana limestone with carved limestone detailing on the two streetfacing elevations along West Division Street (south) and North Bosworth Avenue (west) with the east and north (alley) elevations clad with unornamented common brick. The south and west elevations feature a large center section flanked by slightly projecting end bays. The raised basement forms a high water table of ashlar limestone. Above this base, paired fluted piers separate the stepped inset window bays. Ornamented metal spandrel panels between the first and second floor windows provide further vertical emphasis. Carved Art Deco detailing including chevrons, sunbursts, and abstracted floral motifs form a continuous bas relief band above the second story windows, accentuating the stepped parapet. The south elevation is completely symmetrical with the main entrance set in a deeply-recessed rectangular opening in the center of the limestone façade reaching up to the second story. This differs slightly from the balanced, but asymmetrical west elevation, which features a secondary building entrance on the building’s northwest corner off-set by a window on the southwest corner. The original main entrance remains intact with its white metal and glass double doors surmounted by a large transom overlaid with a decorative metal screen. The simple vertical pattern of the decorative metal screen is interspersed with geometric square elements. The top of the screen features a stylized organic design combining organic forms with machine age rudiment. A medallion above the door, made of inlayed white metal, is inscribed with the letters ZNP for “Zwiazek Narodowy Polski” (Polish National Alliance in Polish). The emblem of the PNA—a shield with an eagle, a knight riding on horseback, and the Archangel Michael, symbolizing the three main regions of the old Polish commonwealth—is carved into the limestone parapet above the entrance bay. Shields are also carved into the parapet at each end bay. A secondary entrance with a set of painted metal double doors is located at the north end of the west elevation. On the two street-facing elevations, second- and third-floor windows in each of the three center window bays are placed within deeply-recessed openings grouped in sets of three (west elevation) and sets of two (south elevation). Each outer flanking bay features one window similar in size and shape. Decorative-metal spandrels with Art Deco-style geometric ornament separate windows in each recessed opening. Paired, fluted piers separate each inset window bay emphasizing the building’s vertical elements. Carved Art Deco-style detailing, including chevrons, sunbursts, and abstracted floral motifs, form a continuous band above second-story windows, accentuating a stepped parapet. Windows located on the first story, or raised basement level, retain the same fenestration pattern as those above with the exception of a secondary entrance located in the northwestern most bay. First floor windows, located at grade, are simply adorned with original decorative metal grilles. Window sash on the building’s primary (south and west) elevations are one-over-one replacement windows within original openings. The secondary north and east elevations are clad in common brick and are unornamented. These elevations are regularly fenestrated with single window openings that house original steel sash windows.

In 1922, the PNA purchased property at the northeast corner of Division and Dickson (now Bosworth) Streets, just east of the Polish Triangle, and hosted a well-publicized competition in 1924 to select an architect for the new building. The winner was Raymond M. Hood of New York, already familiar to Chicagoans as the winning architect in the Chicago Tribune Tower competition in 1922. Hood’s proposed design for the new PNA Headquarters was an imposing eight-story office block in the Classical Revival style clad in black granite and ashlar Bedford limestone and housing an auditorium, lodge halls, a library, a printing plant for the daily Zgoda newspaper, first floor retail spaces, and upper floor offices. Leadership disputes within the PNA and the onset of the Great Depression postponed the plan’s execution, and Hood’s ambitious and costly design was subsequently abandoned. After a temporary move in 1935 to the third floor of the Home Trust Bank and Trust Company Building at 1200 N. Ashland Ave., the PNA finally moved forward with plans for a new headquarters facility on its property at Division and Bosworth. Architect Joseph A. Slupkowski’s two-story Art Deco-style design was substantially smaller than Hood’s earlier design, containing offices, a library, a reading room, a small museum, and vaults, all fully air conditioned but with no large auditorium or lodge hall. Anticipating the potential need for additional office space, the foundations of Slupkowsi’s PNA Headquarters were built to accommodate two more stories, though such an addition was never built. The building was completed in 1938 for a cost of $200,000. The PNA’s first year in their new headquarters coincided with the end of the Second Polish Republic and the Nazi invasion of Poland in September of 1939. Throughout the Nazi occupation

becoming the nation’s most recognized Polish-American organizer and a formidable representative of Polish-American political and economic interests both at home and abroad. In 1944, Rozmarek along with other PNA and PAC leaders met with President Franklin Roosevelt in Washington to counsel him on the need for Polish independence. After the war, Rozmarek and the PNA were instrumental in the passage of federal legislation allowing 150,000 Polish refugees to resettle in the United States, many of them in Chicago. Many of these new citizens became active PNA members and were key to maintaining the PNA’s viability in the post-war period, when many second- and third-generation Polish Americans were leaving traditionally Polish neighborhoods such as Chicago’s Polish Downtown. The PNA’s building at 1514-1520 W. Division served as the PNA’s national headquarters until 1976, when the organization moved to 6100 N. Cicero Ave., where it remains today. Today, the PNA continues its role as the largest Polish fraternal organization in the nation and one of the United States’ strongest supporters of Polish statehood and culture. After its sale by the PNA, the building became first a Social Security Administration facility, and was more recently occupied by the College of Office Technology. The building is currently vacant. It was color-coded “orange” in the Chicago Historic Resources Survey. The PNA Headquarters was designated a Chicago Landmark in 2014. Architect Joseph A. Slupkowski Architect Joseph A. Slupkowski (1884-1951) was born in Chicago in 1884 to Polish-American parents. Slupkowski attended the Holy Trinity parish school, then studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Armour Institute (later the Illinois Institute of Technology), and the Association Institute. After graduation, Slupkowski worked with the Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railroad as an architect and engineer. He received his architectural license in 1917 and established his own firm with fellow architect Clement L. Piontek, best known for his earlier work with Chicago architects Worthmann & Steinbach. Slupkowski & Piontek’s office was located at 1263 N. Paulina St., in “Polish Downtown,” the area on Chicago’s Northwest Side historically the center of the city’s Polish-American community, and the firm catered primarily to Polish-American individuals and institutions. Many of Chicago’s largest Polish social and religious institutions were counted among the firm’s clients. Slupkowski & Piontek’s best known works include the St. Joseph Home of Chicago (2650 N. Ridgeway, 1928, demolished); a large facility for Holy Trinity School (1443 W. Division St., 1928, extant); and Weber High School’s Francis Gordon Gymnasium (1521-1525 W. Haddon St., 1920s, extant). Slupkowski & Piontek also designed several single-family bungalows in Chicago’s West Town community area. The firm of Slupkowski & Piontek dissolved sometime after 1928. Slupkowski’s most prominent work of the 1930s includes the Spanish Colonial Revival-style St. Francis Friary in Burlington, Wisconsin, and the Polish National Alliance Building. In addition to serving as architect for the new headquarters, Slupkowski was a longtime member of the PNA’s Chicago Society and a supporter of the group’s youth programs. He also served on the Chicago Plan Commission from 1941 through the late 1940s.

Location[edit]

The building stands on the corner of Division Street and Bosworth Avenue in the Pulaski Park neighborhood of West Chicago. The structure faces Polonia Triangle in heart of Polish Downtown.
