 | The Fabyan Lighthouse
When George and Nellie lived there the estate was known as "Riverbank" as it is bisected by the Fox River. |

 | The Fabyan Windmill.
The mill was originally constructed in York Township, Illinois from a Dutch-built prefabricated kit that included hand-cut cypress beams with hickory and maple gearing. The mill also had a wing building possibly for storage or, it may have once housed an auxiliary steam engine.
On October 15, 1914, Fabyan purchased the mill for $8,000 from the widow of it's owner. It's not known why he purchased it. Some have suggested it was a present for his wife. Looking around the grounds it's easy to see that he just liked having things that were different. The size of the mill prevented him from easily moving it the 20 miles to it's new home. he would spend his next 19 months and $75,000 disassembling the mill piece by piece and reassembling it on his property.
He made a number of modifications. A new foundation for was poured from concrete that included a basement level. This made the rebuilt mill six floors high and, the tallest in Illinois. Windows were added to the fourth floor. The original mill was made almost entirely of wood including the driveshaft. He had an separate iron drive shaft installed to run the machinery in the basement level, which included a sharpening wheel, a corn sheller, and a grain separator. He also installed an oven in the basement, although it was rarely, if ever, used. An exhaust system was built for the underground level. It came up through a false chimney in a stone bus shelter which, unfortunately was destroyed by a truck in the 1950s.
At one point the estate was home to award-winning livestock and other animals. The mill was used to grind their feed as well as by other local farmers. The mill was last used about 1950 and the sailcloth was removed from the blades.
The mill sat and deteriorated for years. The county was considering demolishing it in 1990 when it wasn't even considered safe enough for inspection. Fortunately many people argued it should be saved. It was restored with the help of private donations and fund raising which paid the $916,000.00 bill. A grand reopening celebration was held June 3, 2005, exactly 26 years after it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today it is open on weekends May through October for public tours. In 2008 a small picnic shelter was built near the windmill which echos the storage wing that was there when the mill was at it's original location.
Lucas Verbij a windmill expert from the Netherlands served as the consultant for the restoration. He said; "If the windmill was in Holland, it would be the most revered windmill in all of Holland". |

 | The Flight of the Horse.
As for fantasy Niven has one series of stories that centers around the fact that magic is a non-renewable resource.
In another series the character, Hanville Svets who first appeared in a 1969 story published in a magazine lives in a future where almost all animal life has become extinct. His job as a time traveler is to travel back in time and retrieve samples of extinct life.
Since time travel is impossible and therefore fantasy, when he is sent back in time to find a horse he ends up in an alternate reality where he encounters a unicorn.
In 1973 the book "The Flight of the Horse" was the first collection of Hanville's stories. |

 | The golden spike.
The Jupiter made history when on May 10, 1869 the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads were joined to create the nations first trans-continental railroad. The Jupiter was not originally planned to be part of the ceremony. However the "Antelope" which was to be there was damaged in in transit. The Jupiter was nearby so it took over.
This picture was known as the "Champaign Shot". In deference to temperance feelings the bottles held in the center of the picture were retouched out of some later prints with the outstretched hands explained as a attempted handshake. |

 | The Haarlem Archaeopteryx.
In 1970 Ostrom studied a long forgotten fossil that had been misidentified as a type of pterodactyl. He thought the fossil was an Archaeopteryx so he renamed the fossil the Haarlem Archaeopteryx as it belonged to the Teylers Museum in Haarlem, Netherland.
Ostrom began to argue that dinosaurs were not extinct and what remained of them now lived among us as birds. At the time this was a radical view that very few paleontologist gave any serious thought to.
In 2017 Christian Foth and Oliver Rauhut studied the fossil and found enough differences from the Archaeopteryx to declare it a separate species. They named it Ostromia in John's honor. It is so far the only fossil of it's species to have been found. |
