Description
Book SynopsisThe first book devoted to Chicago South Side's rich and unfairly ignored architectural heritage. With lively, insightful text and gallery-quality colour photographs by noted Chicago architecture expert Lee Bey,
Southern Exposure documents the remarkable and largely unsung architecture of the South Side.
Trade ReviewSouthern Exposure is a 35mm love story. Just like relationships, the buildings that Bey photographs reflect our affection and our neglect, and remind us of why we are so devoted to Chicago's South Side. Through these truly awesome images, we are inspired to stop, behold, and not take these treasures for granted." —Mary Pattillo, author of
