Summary:

Although the Chicago area is famous the world over for its splendid architecture, the architectural treasures of the suburban area have remained largely unknown. Ira Bach, assisted by Susan Wolfson, has now provided a comprehensive, readable guide to more than 850 historic buildings in the six counties of Cook, Lake, McHenry, Kane, DuPage, and Will. Organized by country, then by town, this book shows us the real roots of Chicago architecture.
