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' 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. 

This program is being held in partnership with the Caxton Club, Chicago Art Deco Society, and Chicago Collections Consortium.
