Commonwealth Edison Substations - Project - 
ca. 1915

          Van Bergen lost this commission to William Drummond.  Commonwealth Edison has substations scattered throughout the city of Chicago.  Many are out in the open.  Many others are surrounded by a facade which hides the unsightly transformers from public view.  Some of these on the north side of the city have a "Prairie" style facade with some interesting brick patterns and tile insets.
