The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and the financial Panic of 1873 brought about the demise of the improvement company , bringing new construction nearly to a halt for some time . A village government was established in September 1875 , and Olmsted 's original development plan remained in force . Building resumed in the following years , with the opening of the Riverside Golf Club in 1893 , the striking Chateauesque Riverside Township Hall in 1895 , and the Burlington line train station in 1901 . Many homes and estates were designed by architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright , Daniel Burnham , Louis Sullivan , William Le Baron Jenney , Joseph Lyman Silsbee , Frederick Clarke Withers , and Calvert Vaux at the time as well
