Join Will Quam of Brick of Chicago for a walking tour of the historic Prairie Avenue District. By diving into the materials that make up the city, we'll explore the evolution of architectural design and the history of the neighborhood: from the original Gold Coast, to an industrial hub, to Motor Row, and back to a residential neighborhood.
Will Quam is an architecture photographer and historian. He has been described as “Chicago’s premiere brick expert” by Geoffrey Baer of PBS Chicago and through his project Brick of Chicago he has led more than 10,000 Chicagoans and tourists on brick walking tours of the city. His book Fire and Clay: How Brick Reveals the Hidden History of Chicago was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2026.
Two dates offered - June 30 and July 15.
