"In the late nineteenth century, Chicago emerged as the center of architectural innovation in America. Forced to rebuild after the destruction wrought by the Great Fire of 1871 and to expand to accommodate a surge in population, Chicago offered myriad opportunities for talented designers like John Wellborn Root, Daniel Burnham, and Louis Sullivan. The Chicago Architectural Club was a powerful force in this architectural community, which created modern architecture in America."
"Founded in 1885, when architecture was an emerging profession and formal architectural education was in its infancy, the Club provided a setting where aspiring draftsmen could develop their skills by creating a professional network and participating in a lively program of lectures, design competitions, and social events. The Chicago Architectural Club: Prelude to the Modern documents the history of the organization and its role in shaping architectural education and modern architectural practice."
"Wilbert R. Hasbrouck presents the personalities and politics of this impressive group, offering an in-depth look at the lesser-known men often largely responsible for implementing designs credited to their more famous employers. This comprehensive volume includes hundreds of drawings and photographs depicting a wide range of buildings from iconic works such as the Home Insurance Building designed by the office of William Le Baron Jenney and to countless other commercial and residential structures that laid the groundwork for a uniquely American modern architecture."
"Of special interest are ephemera from the Club itself: menu designs, posters, exhibition catalogs and rare portraits of the members, which together evoke the spirit of the era and the character of this unique institution."--Jacket.
