Both a guide for those visiting the city and a valuable reference for architecture enthusiasts, "Chicago Architecture" includes residential icons such as Mies van der Rohe's 860-880 Lake Shore Drive, skyscraper prototypes such as Sullivan's Schlesinger and Mayer Store, and engineering masterpieces such as Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's Sears Tower.
