“Irving Kane Pond: A Michigan Architect in Chicago,” an old publication of Professor Emeritus Guy Szuberla’s, has been reprinted as the introduction to a new book, The Autobiography of Irving Kane Pond (Oak Park, Illinois: Hyoogen Pr., 2009). Pond (1857-1939) is perhaps best known as the architect of the Hull-House complex in Chicago, the Michigan Union (Ann Arbor), and his work on Pullman, Illinois, the model city. He was working on the manuscript of his autobiography when he died in 1939.
David Swan, a Chicago architect, and Terry Tatum, Supervising Historian and Director of Research for the Landmarks Division [City of Chicago], edited the text of the autobiography and gathered the several hundred photos and line drawings that accompany it. Their work was supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.
