 If you're an architecture buff, this may be for you - A Brief and Exciting History of Brick Architecture in Chicago. Ridge Historical Society is hosting a lecture on Friday 5/2 starting at 7 pm at 10621 S Seeley.

Brick is an ever-changing material that has defined Chicago and it's architecture. Learn the trends and fashions through Chicago's brick history: Homegrown common bricks, imported red bricks, wild colors, textures, and terracottas of the 1910s-30s, Miesian modern bricks and more. You'll discover the technology and architectural innovations that can be found across Beverly, Morgan Park, and Chicago, written into its brick.
