Title: A Guide to Significant Chicago Architecture of 1872 To 1922 (Privately published by John D. Randall in a limited edition, Glencoe, Illinois)
Author: Randall, John D.
Description: The primary purpose of this guide is to make it easier for students and visitors to know the work of Chicago's greatest architects.
While it is true that seeing and studying the buildings will bring greater understanding, it is also true that the greater the understanding of architecture, the more one can learn from the buildings themselves. Since they must be seen today, we must consider the times during which they were conceived. We must make allowances for later developments in order to fully appreciate them.
It is hoped that the guide, besides serving those pursuing architecture as a profession, will serve some who are appreciative of architecture's importance in everyday life. The nominal discussion is directed primarily to such lay interest.
While the guide is not a text but rather an annotated list, it is hoped that something of the basic principles of architecture will be learned as these buildings are compared with both their contemporaries and later buildings. Perhaps the question as to why these particular structures are named will interest some to learn more about architecture...
The Guide identifies 64 building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and out of 10 photographs, three are of Wright building, Heurtley (2), Willits (1).

Through these murals, the history of Chicago and the nation is writ in churches and lobbies, on viaducts and school walls. Mary Gray's A Guide to Chicago's Murals is the first definitive handbook to the treasures that can be found all over the city." Includes a section of Charles L.
