Join the Chicago ICAA & Benjamin Marshall for an evening with Stuart Cohen.

In 1897, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Spencer, Dwight Perkins and Myron Hunt, all good friends, moved in together in the loft office space at the top of Steinway Hall, a building Dwight Perkins had designed. They were all about the same age and were all early in the development of their independent architectural practices. They collaborated on projects together and participated in the Chicago Architectural Club, the Chicago Arts and Crafts Society, and the vibrant architectural culture that characterized the profession in Chicago at the beginning of the last century. Together in Steinway Hall they shared in the development of ideas that would impact twentieth century architecture. Stuart Cohen, architect, educator, and author of Frank L. Wright and the Architects of Steinway Hall: A Study in Collaboration, will discuss the time these men spent together and the creative “collaborative circle” they formed.
