A View from City Hall: Mid-Century to Millennium offers readers a richly detailed, visual road map of Chicago as viewed from the mayoras office in City Hall. Within these pages are emblematic images of Chicago evolving from blue-ribbon Mayor Martin Kennellyas 1947a1955 administration through his successors, including the cityas first and second black mayors, the cityas first female mayor, the cityas first non-Irish mayor since 1933, and finally, the Daley adouble, a Richard J. and Richard M. Witness the excitement as City Hall rolls out the welcome wagon for traveling kings and queens, dignitaries, and counts, as well as figures of great historic import, including Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Mikhail Gorbachev, Bishop Tutu, and Frank Sinatra. View rare scenes of the abuildera mayor tradition and the construction of such architectural triumphs as the Sears Tower, which was then the worldas-tallest building. With over 200 photographs
accompanied by informative captions, this volume highlights a variety of Chicagoas ethnic festivals, parades, and political campaigns, skillfully bringing each scene to life.
