Chicago's block clubs: how neighbors shape the city

Price:

Summary:
What do you do if your alley is strewn with garbage after the sanitation truck comes through? Or if you’re tired of the rowdy teenagers next door keeping you up all night? Is there a vacant lot on your block accumulating weeds, needles, and litter? For a century, Chicagoans have joined block clubs to address problems like these that make daily life in the city a nuisance. When neighbors work together in block clubs, playgrounds get built, local crime is monitored, streets are cleaned up, and every summer is marked by the festivities of day-long block parties. In Chicago’s Block Clubs, Amanda I. Seligman uncovers the history of the block club in Chicago—from its origins in the Urban League in the early 1900s through to the Chicago Police Department’s twenty-first-century community policing program. Recognizing that many neighborhood problems are too big for one resident to handle—but too small for the city to keep up with—city residents have for more than a century created clubs to establish and maintain their neighborhood’s particular social dynamics, quality of life, and appearance.

Summary:
Price, a disciple of Frank Furness who practiced in Philadelphia from 1883 to 1916, established the architectural character of two of the nation's great resorts, Atlantic City and Miami, thus shaping the architecture of the Roaring Twenties. Although his largest and best-known projects, the Art Deco Traymore Hotel in Atlantic City and the Chicago Freight Terminal, have been, his arts and crafts utopian community in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania and his Garden City community in Arden, Delaware survive to attest to the vigor of his ideas and the leadership he exerted. Price left a legacy of exquisite houses, railway stations, and commercial structures stretching from Atlantic City to Chicago and from Canada to Florida that was widely emulated and recalls the best works of Frank Lloyd Wright and Greene & Greene. In addition, Price was an accomplished writer and furniture designer whose work was regularly featured in Gustav Stickley's "The Craftsman". Price's role in shaping American architecture is uncovered in this lavishly illustrated volume, which documents the architect's complete works including over 350 hotels, houses, and pieces of furni-ture, bringing to light this little-known American master.
