This post is a reference to the book written by Carl Condit entitled The Chicago School of Architecture<\/i>. The book was published 50 years ago this year. Celebrating that anniversary, plus the centennial of Condit’s birth today — he was born in Cincinnati on 29 September 1914 — I am publishing this blog.<\/p>\n
I studied the book before a Christmas visit to Chicago almost two years ago, and decided then that I wanted to know how many of the buildings he wrote about in 1964 were still standing today. At first I thought I might make a quick count, but my curiousity evolved into an elaborate project. What I publish here is a thorough, detailed study about which of the buildings my father wrote about are still standing, and how many have been demolished since he wrote. <\/p>\n
In January, 2019, I revised and improved the original post from 2014. Read the full study here: <\/p>\n
