Whether the structure is a large factory or a single family's homestead, deserted places leave clues to the time shared between the people who once occupied a space and the buildings themselves. These spots are scattered throughout Illinois, both in rural and city settings, and as seen through a camera lens, can clearly illustrate times of industrialization, family histories, and significant historical milestones. The first volume in a series, this book documents stories from the past, exploring locations from Chicago and surrounding areas with abandoned homes, businesses, and more. 128 pages, 200 B&W photographs, 6½"x 9¼", softcover.
