In Living Landmarks of Chicago, Emmy-winning Author Theresa L. Goodrich goes beyond the what, when, and where to tell the how and why of fifty Chicago landmarks. From the parlor used as a meat locker to the fight over the Field Museum, history comes to life in these tantalizing tales. Each chapter is a vignette that introduces the landmark and brings it to life, and the book is organized chronologically to illustrate the development of the city's distinct personality. These fifty landmarks weave an interconnected tale of Chicago between 1836 and 1932 (and beyond).
