http://www.pioneerlocal.com/cgi-bin/ppo-story/localnews/current/sc/09-01-05-674288.html Pioneer families and their homesteads The Bierman-Steinmeyer farmstead, which stretches east from Barrington Road along Old Higgins Road, behind the Stonegate Conference Center, included three homes and several structures now in various states of disrepair. The following is a brief description a few of the historic homes, barns and farm buildings connected with the Bierman, Steinmeyer and Sunderlage pioneer families that can be located in the area. The Steinmeyer-Sunderlage farmhouse, Hoffman Estates, 1905. Built by Ester Bierman-Steinmeyer's parents, Herman Steinmeyer and Emma Steinmeyer-Sunderlage, the tall, graceful two-story building was surrounding by two barns, a hog pen, a smokehouse and a sprawling 1-acre garden that included berry bushes, fruit and nut trees and several bee hives. It was notable for its custom design which included twin front doors installed for easy ingress and egress for funerals. All the buildings except the smokehouse remain standing, but they will all likely be destroyed soon as St. Alexius Medical Center continues the expansion of its campus. A fire destroyed the Steinmeyer-Sunderlage farmhouse in 2003. Its cause was never determined. The original Steinmeyer farmhouse, Hoffman Estates, 1830s. More than the hand-hewn boards that make up its falling walls, the original farmhouse on the Bierman-Steinmeyer farmstead is special for its age and its place in the history of Schaumburg Township. Hoffman Estates has a small share of old buildings, but, if the best estimates stand up, the four-room Steinmeyer house has them all beat. The German schoolhouse (Bierman house), Hoffman Estates, 1879. The schoolhouse was originally built on property owned by the Evangelical Immanuel Congregation of Hanover Township, a German church. It was used to instruct students in Bible study classes taught in the locals' native language -- German. The old schoolhouse was sold to Harvey and Ester Bierman for $2,100, according to a booklet published in 1952 commemorating the 100th anniversary of the church. While the schoolhouse was moved to its present location on Barrington Road and became the Bierman's residence, the church remained on Old Church Road in Streamwood and is now called the Immanuel United Church of Christ. The Sunderlage farmhouse, 1856. Built by Johann and Catherine Greve-Sunderlage, the Sunderlage farmhouse is tucked behind the Hoffman Estates Community Center & Ice Arena at 1775 Vista Lane. In 1988, a group of developers paid renown historical preservationist William Hasbrouck to restore the home and convert it into a center for community gatherings. The farmhouse's highlights include its unique smokehouse (the only building in Hoffman Estates on the National Register of Historic Places) and the massive Austrian pine that flanks its front door. The mural by Chicago artist Malvin Marr Albright -- lesser-known identical twin of Ivan Lorraine Albright -- that once graced the building's foyer now lies under layers of paint and wallpaper. The Schuette-Bierman farmhouse, 1856. Built on State Road (Arlington Heights Road) and Clearmont Drive, the Schuette-Bierman farmhouse was moved to its current location at 399 Biesterfield Road in Elk Grove Village in 1975. It was built by Henry Schuette, who lived there with his wife Maria Schuette-Bierman. It is now home to the Elk Grove Historical Society's Farmhouse Museum.

http://www.pioneerlocal.com/cgi-bin/ppo-story/localnews/current/sc/09-01-05-671405.html Preserving the past Historians seek to save 1879 Bierman house from demolition BY PATRICK CORCORAN STAFF WRITER Treasure hunters formed a line outside the old Bierman house on Barrington Road early Friday. Rooting awkwardly through the home amongst family belongings, professional collectors mingled with local residents and curio-seekers during this estate sale of one of the oldest families in the area. Hand-crafted trucks and a cowboy-themed pinball precursor and the stately walnut kitchen table were the first items to go. Others, like a googly-eyed fox stoll and audiotapes from holiday parties, required a trip into the basement or extrication from deep drawers. Stories like this usually end sadly. Empty, old farmhouses are almost always torn down and hauled away in pieces. But in this case, both the memories and the house may last. Pioneers Like the distinctive Quonset hut next to it, the Bierman house at 1745 N. Barrington Road is sturdy and squat -- more functional than exquisite. Built in 1879, it was originally a one-room church schoolhouse. It ended up in Hoffman Estates after the Illinois Highway Deparment decided in 1947 to expand Schaumburg Road. To complete the project, the state needed a slice of the church's property, over which part of the schoolhouse extended. In 1949, after the house was moved to its current location, Harvey and Ester and their two children, Jon and Judith Bierman-Bartelt, moved in. The family stayed there for 54 years, many of which were spent surrounded by friends and family who lived on or near the historic Bierman-Steinmeyer farmstead. The area was one of the first to be developed by pioneers. Village Historical Sites Commission member Marilyn Lind believes one structure on the property dates to the 1830s. Unlike his parents who were farmers, Harvey Bierman was a blacksmith and welder who operated an Bierman Implements Co., part Allis-Chalmers dealership and part repair shop for tractors and other farm equipment. Jon Bierman, who worked alongside his father and later ran a John Deere dealership and a lawn and garden business at the site, said growing up close to family was typical of the times. "Our first house was across the street and our second one was right where the hospital is now. My parents were both from farm families ... things were so much different then. My father grew up within eyesight of here -- on a farm that was right near the tollway and Barrington Road. My mother was born within eyesight of where she raised us. Not many people can say that," he said. As the community grew and changed, the Bierman property did too. Harvey Bierman died in 1981 after 44 years of marriage to Ester, who moved out of the house in 2002 and died in December 2004 at age 93. Jon Bierman, 64, who lives in Elgin, closed the Barrington road shop in the 1990s. Now, the entire farmstead property is all but sold. A large portion of the original farmstead -- 26 acres -- went to Alexian Brothers Medical Center in 1999. The hospital now has a contract on the property's remaining 1.8 acres, which includes the house, the Quonset hut and a sliver of land behind the two buildings. The tools and machines stored in the Quonset hut will be sold at auction Sept. 30. The buildings on the site will probably be knocked down soon after, Bierman said. "As soon as the end of the estate sale and after we sell the shop equipment, it will be demolished right quick. I'm not sure of their plans, but they might do the barn and everything else all at once," he said. House moving While the estate sale last week marked the end of a family and farming tradition that began 150 years earlier, it also marked the beginning of a movement to save the Bierman home and German schoolhouse by relocating it, possibly to the nearby Sunderlage Farmhouse property. Though it's backed by a growing group of village officials -- including Trustee Ray Kincaid, Police and Fire Commissioner Bob Seibert, Village Clerk Virginia Hayter, Village Historian Pat Barch and Lind and Bierman -- to date, there are no plans to finance the project. There's the rub. "Money is going to be the biggest issue and we don't know yet where we're going to get it," she said. "A project like this could be very expensive and it could take a long, long time." Barch said. Barch said grants and fund-raisers are two possible sources for financing the project. So why is it worth saving? Lind said the Bierman house is one of a few examples of Hoffman Estates' heritage. "That little house, it is a part of local history. It was a church schoolhouse and later a home that was an important part of the community for a long time," Lind said. "A town like Arlington Heights or Park Ridge, they have a lot of old homes. What do we have here in Hoffman Estates? Not too much as far as that goes." Seibert, who spent 25 years in the construction field before becoming a plumbers' union official, took a long look at the home's foundation and thinks the house can be moved. He said he's seen bigger buildings, including a tavern in Buffalo Grove, moved with relative ease. "Where it was once a problem to move something like that 300 feet, now houses can be moved 300 miles or more. When they moved the Buffalo House (on Buffalo Grove Road), I asked one of the guys, 'Aren't you going to take some of those bottles off the bar?' They told me they didn't need to and then they moved it without even knocking one over," Seibert said. "Once you disconnect the utilities, you won't have a problem here." The Buffalo House, which was built in 1899, is now a Lou Malnati's. Tentative plans call for restoring the Bierman house to its original state, Barch said. "My wish is that it would be converted back into the old German schoolhouse. How much money and time that would take, I don't know," Barch said. "I think the first order of business is to save the house and we can figure out how to renovate it." Bierman said saving the house would please his parents greatly. "I would love too see that happen and I know my mother would just be very thrilled to know that someone wanted to do that -- that someone cared about the house," he said. "But whether they decide to knock it down or keep it -- I don't have a vote any more."

Schaumburg, IL 25 miles NW of the Loop. Schaumburg differs from many of the othernorthwestern suburban towns in that itdid not start around a railroaddepot. The area, which was very marshy, attracted its first settlersfrom eastern states in the mid-1830s. Trum- bull Kent of OswegoCounty, New York, was the first Yankee arrival. He was soon joined notonly by other easterners but also by Germans, many of whom came fromSchaumburg-Lippe, between Dortmund and Hannover. They settled alongthe Chicago–Elgin Road (Irving Park) and other local highways. These farmers organized a German Lutheran congregation as early as1840, and in 1847 they built their first church. A few years laterthere was a controversy over the name for the little town that wasemerging near the church; some wanted it to be Lutherville, but in theend it became known as Schaumburg Center. It grew very slowly, for thearea, though fertile, was swampy, and there was no railroad depot toopen the communications with Chicago and stimulate rapid growth. By the end of the nineteenth century the population of the wholetownship was only about 1,000. The township, which by 1900 boastedthree cheese factories, continued to grow very slowly during the firsthalf of the twentieth century, as did the little town. The construction of the Northwest Toll road in 1956 wrenchedSchaumburg from its isolation. Schaumburg-area farmers took an activerole in industrial, commercial, and residential development. Soon alarge number of streets, often at dizzying angles to avoidquadrilateral monotony, spread out from the old center, until by 1980the population numbered 53,305 and the land was almost entirely builtup. I-290 came to border Schaumburg to the east, cutting it off from theforests and sloughs of the Ned Brown Forest Preserve; to the north itextended as far as the old Algonquin Road, once an Indian trail andthen the route of the Chicago–Galena stagecoach. In the northeasternarea emerged Woodfield Mall, opened in 1971 and one of the region'slargest shopping centers. It was not by chance that the mall developedclose by both I-290 and the Northwest Tollway. While Schaumburg'sdramatic growth came with the automobile, the community now has a raildepot and is a regional public transportation center. Schaumburg todayis a mature community, with a small industrial area in itssouthwestern section and a great variety of churches, schools, andopen places. Its German origins are now muted, though they live on inroad names like "Biesterfield." (SHUDDER!!!!mmissppelledd) While Woodfield defines Schaumburg to outsiders, residents havereturned to the old crossroads at Plum Grove and Schaumburg Roads todevelop a new town center in the 1990s. Local shopping, a publiclibrary, public recreational facilities, the government center, and abandstand now provide residents with a service core.

Schaumburg: A Pictorial History. 1987. http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/1117.html Palatine, IL Cook County, 26 miles NW of the Loop. In the early nineteenth century,this was a rather swampy area, through which Salt Creek (then as now)passed. To the northwest was Deer Grove, so named for the numerousdeer that it sheltered; "English Grove" lay due west, and Plum Groveabout two miles to the south. Plum Grove was particularly important tothe Potawatomi, who continued to visit area burial sites after theywere removed to Iowa in the 1830s. Early settlers tended to choose these forested sites. Thus George Elasettled near Deer Grove in 1835, while Ben Lincoln and Ben Portertraveled from Vermont to Plum Grove. In 1853, the Illinois & WisconsinRailroad was constructed across the township. A town emerged aroundthe railroad depot, built just south of the Salt Creek swamp. Somepeople wanted to call it Yankton, but the name Palatine was adopted,after a town in New York. By the time Palatine was incorporated in 1866, it was already acommunity of some size, with a Methodist church. While the earliestsettlers were Yankees, there was an influx of Germans beginning in the1850s. By 1869 a substantial Lutheran church could be built. TheseGermans were mostly farmers, who joined the earlier settlers inbringing their produce to the Palatine depot for shipment to Chicago.Some commuters also began to settle in the little town, but itremained very rural down to World War II, in spite of the constructionof the Northwest Highway in the 1930s. All that changed in the 1950s, particularly with the construction ofthe Northwest Toll Road in 1955, a couple of miles south of Palatine'ssouthern boundary. The whole area was opened up to rapid automobiletravel, and residential building accelerated. The streets weregenerally laid out in irregular patterns, to avoid the excessivelyrectilinear appearance of many of the suburbs nearer Chicago. By 1970virtually all the land had been taken up, and the only large open areawas the Palatine Hills Golf Course, on the northwest edge of town.Beyond that lay the Deer Grove Forest Preserve, a substantial remnantof the forested area that had drawn Indians and Europeans to theseparts in the first place.

Elk Grove Villagediffers from many other suburban towns in that it did not emerge as anineteenth-century market town, or around a railroad depot; indeed, itdid not come into existence as a center of settlement until around1940, roughly at the place where Touhy Avenue intersects with route53. This was in the southeastern corner of the old Elk Grove township,which took its name from the huge grove that is now the Ned BrownForest Preserve. Bounded on the west by Salt Creek, and on the east bythe line of the present Arlington Heights Road, this forested areaattracted not only Potawatomi hunters, but also, from the mid-1830sonwards, Yankee settlers. The open prairie areas often tended to bemarshy, but the early Yankee farmers were joined in the late 1840s byGermans, and together they eventually drained much of the area roundthe future site of Elk Grove Village. No railroad traversed this part of the country, and it remained veryrural right down to the Second World War; indeed, it is only on themap of 1941 that we begin to discern the development of a little town.At that time the future O'Hare Airport, a mile or so to the southeast,was beginning to emerge as a center for the manufacture of Douglastransport aircraft; eventually it would become the major hub of UnitedAirlines, which would make its headquarters in Elk Grove Village. Holiday Inn/Centex Industrial Park, 1968 All this lay in the future in 1941, and as late as 1956, when ElkGrove Village was incorporated, the population numbered only 125.After that development was rapid. Following a plan proposed by theCentex Corporation of Dallas (Texas), curvilinear streets were laidout, and by the late 1950s and 1960s a whole suburb came into being,complete with schools, churches and shopping centers; in 1958 thisgrowth was much encouraged by the construction of the NorthwestTollway, cutting across the northern edge of the town. The Northwest Tollway also clipped off the northern section of the oldgrove. But in general the Elk Grove Forest Preserve, established in1924, succeeded not only in resisting such encroachments, but even inrecovering land previously lost. By 1994 the great grove had largelyrecovered its historic outline. By 2000 Elk Grove Village had reachedthe limits of territorial expansion, with 34,727 inhabitants.
