'....is a heartbreaking chronicle of how much of a great city has disappeared with time. In his engaging text, David Lowe recaptures this extraordinary, now lost, city. Here are the vanished mansions and grand hotels, the precedent-shattering office buildings, the elegant trains, movie palaces, and department stores. It is a haunting record of departed glory, a telling lesson of how we have thoughtlessly squandered our architectural heritage...The book is illustrated in black and white with more than 200 rare photographs and prints that portray the best of Chicago past and starkly illuminate what has been lost...' |
