Evanston: 150 Years 150 Places
Design Evanston contributed to Evanston’s 2013 sesquicentennial celebration by publishing a book that profiles 150 of Evanston’s notable buildings and important places. Updated in 2022.
See our August 2013 presentation at the Evanston Public Library on YouTube.
Design Evanston’s book committee, comprised of Stuart Cohen, Kris Hartzell, Heidrun Hoppe, Laura Saviano and Jack Weiss, gathered nominations from professionals and lay people throughout the Evanston community. They worked for nearly two years to catalog selections, gather photographs, research information, write text and design the book.
You can purchase the book at the following locations: Bookends & Beginnings, Chicago Main Newsstand, Evanston History Center or on our website.
