Bluestone, Daniel M.

Constructing Chicago / Daniel Bluestone.

New Haven : Yale University Press, ©1991.

235 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 30 cm

Combining architectural history and cultural analysis, Bluestone explores the creation of Chicago's architectural landscape. He finds that the structure of the city was influenced as much by the moral, cultural and aesthetic aspirations of its local elite, as by the forces of commerce and capital.
