Costco to Host Book Signing for Forgotten Chicago Author

CHICAGO - Nov. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Chicago has long been regarded as home to some of the world's most impressive architecture. Responding to the Great Fire of 1871, Chicagoans rebuilt the city, creating a radically new architectural style.

Chicago continued to grow and evolve through the 20th century, but many of its architectural masterpieces have been lost, some to modernization, and others simply to the ravages of time.

Forgotten Chicago preserves the unique story of many of Chicago's famed architectural wonders. Included are the old Northwestern Train station, the Coliseum, the Chicago Stadium, old Comiskey Park, and Soldier Field. Many of the smaller treasures of the city will also be found here, including some of Chicago's most famous diners.

Highlights of Forgotten Chicago include:

·         Architectural masterpieces that have been lost.

·         Chicago’s most famous diners.

·         The Great Fire of 1871 and the rebuilding of the city.
