- Reason
- Historically significant as the first plat of Chicago and thereby possessing EV. I withdrew the original nomination slightly more than two weeks ago over concerns of its timing and to work on the image by restoring it to remove non-contemporaneous subsequent additions. I have since learned from the Chicago History Museum that this is indeed the original plat. I have also included an alt over concerns of definition in the original nomination, unless I have misunderstood those concerns.
