Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
When championing the commercial buildings and homes that made the Windy City famous, one cant help but mention the brilliant names of their architectsDaniel Burnham, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others. But few people are aware of Henry Ives Cobb (18591931), the man responsible for an extraordinarily rich chapter in the citys turnofthecentury building boom, and fewer still realize Cobbs lasting importance as a designer of the private and public institutions that continue to enrich Chicagos exceptional architectural heritage.Henry Ives Cobbs Chicago is the first book about this distinguished architect and the magnificent buildings he created, including the Newberry Library, the Chicago Historical Society, the Chicago Athletic Association, the Fisheries Building for the 1893 Worlds Fair, and the Chicago Federal Building. Cobb filled a huge institutional void with his inventive Romanesque and Gothic buildingssomething that the other architectgiants, occupied largely with residential and commercial work, did not do. Edward W. Wolner argues that these constructions and the enterprises they housedincluding the first buildings and master plan for the University of Chicagosignaled that the city had come of age, that its leaders were finally pursuing the highest ambitions in the realms of culture and intellect.Assembling a cast of colorful characters from a freewheeling age gone by, and including over 140 images of Cobbs most creative buildings, Henry Ives Cobbs Chicago is a rare achievement: a dynamic portrait of an architect whose institutional designs decisively changed the citys identity during its most critical phase of development.
