This report traces the unfolding of the Chicago School movement, assesses its significance, and explores possible means of safeguarding, in modern adaptive use, the best surviving examples. The "Chicago School," an architectural movement that flourished in Chicago between the late 1870s and World War I, produced an original architectural expression based on the application of industrial technology responsive to new economic demands and social concerns. This document describes the history and importance of the style and identifies building examples, with photographs and maps.
