Thomas Leslie’s forthcoming book Chicago Skyscrapers, 1871-1934, highlights architectural progress in the skyscraper’s birthplace from the Great Fire to the Great Depression. During this time, such iconic landmarks as the Chicago Tribune Tower, the Wrigley Building, the Marshall Field and Company Building, the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Palmolive Building, and many others rose to impressive new heights.
