When we talk about great Chicago buildings, the image that comes to mind is usually of the building’s outside, but as Frank Lloyd Wright said, “The space within becomes the reality of the building.”
The new book “The Space Within: Inside Chicago’s Great Buildings” not only borrows Wright’s words for its title, it takes his words to heart as it gives an intimate look at the interiors of Chicago’s most remarkable homes, public and commercial buildings and houses of worship.
Author Patrick Cannon takes us inside these Chicago treasures.
