Ira J. Bach

The book begins with a map of the city, showing the location of each walk. Individual maps of the walks, the walking time, and an index of the buildings and architects make this book a useful guide.

Chicago's Famous Buildings is a book documenting the architectural landmarks and other notable buildings of the mid 1960's in Chicago.

Ira Bach describes architectural walks "selected to present Chicago as a great cosmopolitan city as well as a collection of local community areas, all tied together by an intricate web of transportation that makes them accessible to the pedestrian for a closer view."
