So many collections are housed here: Ebony & Jet Magazine...and the Frankie Knuckles vinyl archive. If you care at all about contemporary Black cultural history, this is the spot.
Located less than an 11-minute bike ride from our Airbnb, the Stony Island Arts Bank is a hybrid gallery, media archive, library and community center – and a home for Rebuild’s archives and collections. Designed by William Gibbons Uffendell and built in 1923, the bank at 68th Street and Stony Island Avenue was once a vibrant community savings and loan. By the eighties, the branch had closed and the building remained vacant and deteriorating for decades. The Arts Bank collections include the Johnson Publishing Archive + Collections: Books and periodicals donated by the Johnson Publishing Company, publisher of Ebony and Jetmagazine; the University of Chicago Glass Lantern Slides: Over 60,000 slides of art and architectural history from the Paleolithic to Modern eras; the Edward J. Williams Collection: 4,000 objects of “negrobilia” – mass cultural objects and artifacts that feature stereotypical images of people of color; and the Frankie Knuckles Records: “Godfather of House Music,” Frankie Knuckles’ vinyl collection
