This illustrated guide covers no fewer than 150 buildings designed and built between the late-nineteenth century and the present day. From the early steel-framed skyscrapers by pioneering architects of the first Chicago school in the immediate aftermath of the great fire of 1871, through mid-20th century modernism to the postmodernist and stylistically eclectic 21st.-century, this Guide will be of great interest to anyone interested in the evolution of architectural designs.
