This book accompanied the exhibition “150Years of Chicago Architecture, 1893-1933” at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The exhibition had been curated by Ante Glibota and had opened at the Paris Art Center/ Galerie de la Seita in 1985 before moving to Chicago. The book, edited by Robert Bruegmann, Paul Florian and Cynthia Weese, contains short essays on a number of buildings that at the time of the exhibition were lesser known.
