A literary journey experiencing the beauty and mystery of Chicago’s buildings.
The Cliff Dwellers Book Club will gather in the Sullivan Room on Saturday, July 18, at 11:00 a.m. to discuss Fire and Clay, by Will Quam.
By the late 1920’s, at the peak of brick making and consumption, Chicago was making over a billion bricks a year for its buildings and importing almost another billion nicer face bricks for their front facades.
In Fire and Clay, Quam explores how developers, architects, and masons followed changing fashions as they designed and built the city, creating connections across disparate neighborhoods.
Please make a reservation with the club by Friday, July 10
Planning to stay for the special Saturday Jazz Brunch ($38) as well? Let the staff know when you contact us!
