The Chicago Architectural Club ReviewMr. Bill Hasbrouck's book The Chicago Architecture Club proves examples of late 19th century architecture are fascinating with their stew-pot excesses of decoration and exotic blends of classic styles. They achieve a unique beauty as they reflect the sensibilities of their time and stand as elegant baroque backgrounds to the more spartan work of Wright and Mies.

His account of the Chicago Architecture Club is a delight, describing how it grew, offered draftsmen a place to hone their skills and have fun in a club atmosphere. All too often, these artists are viewed in their stiff portraits and group photos as a bunch of stuffed shirts. Hasbrouck's descriptions of the hail-fellow-well-met activities contrasted with the sketching competitions that required hours of unpaid time in order to compete and were endlessly conjured up by the senior members of the club add a very human touch. The renderings are excellent and each period is very well visualized to provide a context.

The Chicago Architecture Club is a go-to book at the end of a long day, to pick it up again and see how the fellows are doing after the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and find out who won the club competition for the design of a Gatekeeper's Cottage. This book allows the reader to look into a world we've glimpsed, but never seen with such warm clarity.
