From introduction: "In an effort to raise funds for restoration [of the Robie House in Chicago], our first project was an exhibition of [Frank Lloyd] Wright's Prairie School furniture designs presented in the context of his contemporaries. This book is a photographic essay of that exhibition with the addition of some rare, hitherto unpublished photographs of the construction of the Robie House and measured drawings of his furniture." Exhibition was at the gallery of the Architecture Building at the UIUC campus Sept. 15-Oct. 1, 1965.

From inside front cover: "Chicago's largest work of public art to date, Riverwalk Gateway by Ellen Lanyon tells the history of Chicago and its river. The magnificent 336-foot long wall installation consists of sixteen narrative panels and twelve decorative panels." Book presents pictures of each panel, which together tell the story of Chicago from the explorers Marquette and Jolliet to the year 2000. The panels focus on important sites along the river and Lake Michigan and use architecture as a metaphor for the spirit of Chicago.
