The Benjamin Marshall Society needs your help!
The Benjamin Marshall Society is preparing a book about
Benjamin Marshall’s architecture, life and impact on Chicago -- our own urban
environment. This will be the first such book on this important Chicago design
personality and we need you to help us on many different fronts, including
helping us locate publishable rare historic photos and printed memorabilia
about his works. Did you or your family members attend any dinners at the
Drake, Edgewater Beach, or Blackstone Hotels, or perhaps see performances at ,
say, the Blackstone theater? Do you have any photographic souvenirs tucked away
in an album from one of those events from long ago? Please get in touch with us
if you have any rare brochures, photos, postcards, or other historic visual
materials that might enrich the photographic content of our book which is
scheduled for a fall-winter 2014 release. We’ll borrow and return any and all
items, and scan those that will be used in the book. For further information contact the society
through: benmarshallsociety@yahoo.com
