Wilmette Architecture - Now See This
J B Powers runs a wonderful local blog, full of pictures of (mostly) Chicago area architecture, called the Society of Saint Barbara. It has traditionally been limited to architcture of Roman Catholic structures, however, and due to its limited focus I never put it on the blog roll.
That may change, however. Mr. Powers has moved to Wilmette, although Evanston clearly remains his spiritual home as he still lists it as such on his profile. Along with the move, the blog is now also covering non-ecclesicastical architecture, and you must go have a look at his article on Plaza del Lago. I am hoping that this new trend of a wider area of interest continues. In the meantime, however, just click here to see a number of very interesting posts.

Hi there,
Thanks for the link...but Plaza Del Lago and the Deering Library are more ecclesiological than most Churches built after 1960!
rgds,

Well, they are pretty good looking places, but not churches!
