The Chicago lakefront is one of America’s urban wonders. The ribbon of high-rise luxury apartment buildings along the Lake Michigan shore has few, if any, rivals nationwide for sustained architectural significance. This historic confluence of site, money, style, and development lies at the heart of the updated edition of Neil Harris’s “Chicago Apartments: A Century and Beyond of Lakefront Luxury.” Dr. Harris is the Preston and Sterling Morton Professor of History and Art History Emeritus at the University of Chicago. His co-editor Teri J. Edelstein is a distinguished art historian and museum professional.
The cocktail reception with light appetizers and cash bar will start at 5:30 pm. Books will be available for purchase and signing by the authors. The program will start at 6:00 pm followed by additional time for book purchase and signing. The price for this event is $20 per person which does not include the cost of the book. For questions call Club Services at 800.443.0578 or contact librarian@ulcc.org. Please note that the dress code for this event is “Smart Casual.”
