SUMMARY:The Cliff Dwellers Book Club discusses Fire and Clay
DESCRIPTION:A literary journey experiencing the beauty and mystery of Chicago’s buildings.\nThe 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. \nBy 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. \nIn 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. \nPlease make a reservation with the club by Friday\, July 10 \nPlanning to stay for the special Saturday Jazz Brunch ($38) as well? Let the staff know when you contact us!\n \nreservations@cliff-chicago.org\, or 312-922-8080
