Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Chicagos first skyscrapers are famous for projecting the citys modernity around the world. But what did they mean at home, to the Chicagoans who designed and built them, worked inside their walls, and gazed up at their faades? Answering this multifaceted question, Chicago 1890 reveals that early skyscrapers offered hotly debated solutions to the citys toughest problems and, in the process, fostered an urban culture that spread across the country.An ambitious reinterpretation of the works of Louis Sullivan, Daniel Burnham, and John Wellborn Root, this volume uses their towering achievements as a lens through which to view late nineteenthcentury urban history. Joanna MerwoodSalisbury sheds new light on many of Chicagos defining eventsincluding violent building trade strikes, the Haymarket bombing, the Worlds Columbian Exposition, and Burnhams Plan of Chicagoby situating the Masonic Temple, the Monadnock Building, and the Reliance Building at the center of the citys cultural and political crosscurrents.While architects and property owners saw these pioneering structures as manifestations of a robust American identity, immigrant laborers and social reformers viewed them as symbols of capitalisms inequity. Illuminated by rich material from the periods popular press and professional journals, MerwoodSalisburys chronicle of this contentious history reveals that the skyscrapers vaunted status was never as inevitable as todays skylines suggest.
