Philanthropist Richard Driehaus and Benjamin Marshall Society president Jane Lepauw were keynote speakers, with entertainment provided by the Stanley Paul Quartet with a special appearance by singer Ava Cherry. The crowd mingled with descendants of the architect, as the event debuted a four-color coffee table book on Marshall’s historic work in Chicago, entitled Benjamin Marshall: Chicago Architect. benjaminmarshallsociety.org
