unique interior hanging "studio c" electric on air pendant lamp, salvaged from the (non-extant) south loop pacific garden mission building. the lamp was removed from the sound studios of "unshackled", a radio dramatic series showcasing conversions to christianity. the show, recorded live at the pacific garden mission, remains in production today and is translated into seven languages for international distribution. the pacific garden mission served as a homeless shelter in the south loop section of chicago, founded in 1877, by colonel george clarke and his wife, sarah. it has been nicknamed, "the old lighthouse." it is the oldest such shelter in chicago. the original location was at 386 s. clark street. in 1880, the mission moved to 67 e. van buren street, in a location formerly known as the "pacific beer garden." the current name, "pacific garden mission," was adopted at that time - it was suggested by evangelist d.l. moody that the name of the former occupant be kept but with the word "beer" dropped from the name. the mission moved to 646 s. state street, in 1923, following a shift in the location of chicago's skid row, just south of the loop. at that time, the area known for its hobo jungles and flophouses. the state street location was demolished in 2008. the black enameled lettering remains largely intact. the wsdge-shaped globe was fabricated by the kopp glass co.
