Description: "The mission of the project was to educate the public on the significant architecture found in the communities of the North Shore of Chicago with the hope that through education there would be protection for these buildings. The task was very challenging as the committee members began a survey of buildings throughout the North Shore. After compiling in initial roster of hundreds of buildings, the committee narrowed down the list to the ninety entries here." This book was a four-year project completed by the Evanston-North Shore Junior League. Each of the buildings includes a black/white photo and a history. The buildings are arranged by town. The book also includes a Selected Bibliography, Glossary, Index, and Appendices.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 200-201) and index.
