This latest volume in the Urban Domestic Architecture series charts the changing architectural tastes and steady migration of part of Chicago society to their enclaves on Prairie Avenue and Lake Shore Drive. A combination of social and architectural history, it places both the most traditional and the more advanced houses in the context of their times, while paying due attention to such acknowledged masterpieces as Wright's Robie House of 1908Ð1910.

336 pp., 350 photos, drawings, plans.
