Chicago's Loop

From 19th century trading post to one of the world's great financial, business, and entertainment districts, experience the growth and changes of the Windy City.

Chicago's famed Loop is said to have gotten its name from the route of a cable car that looped the central business district in 1882. Since then, much has changed.

This book captures the evolving urban landscape of the Chicago Loop, with a collection of over 100 vintage images, each coupled with its contemporary counterpart. Few cities are as renowned for their architecture as is Chicago. The impressive skyscrapers in and around the Loop give Chicago a skyline second to none. And with more than three dozen historic landmarks, the Loop is home to many of the city's most recognized structures.

Authors Janice A. Knox and Heather Olivia Belcher are both native Chicagoans and collectors of Chicago memorabilia. Together they have created a book that shows us the Chicago we know and love today, along with a clear echo of the city's rich, ever-changing landscape.
