  Repeat- Writings on Architecture: Phantoms - a review of Richard Nickel's Chicago
Richard Nickel's Chicago, creates an moving portrait of the city and its people at mid-century, of wonders lost, and of the photographer who gave his life trying to save them.
Nickel clashed repeatedly with wrecking crews and developers to document the wonders that were being destroyed as, one by one, they disappeared: The brawny Walker Warehouse, the beautiful Babson residence, Holabird and Roche's grandly elegant Republic Building, the house Sullivan designed for his brother Albert.
Richard Nickel's Chicago both poignantly conveys what we've lost, and captures the enduring beauty of what’s still here to save, from the Rookery and the Monadnock right down to their modernist successors, the John Hancock Building and Marina City, part of a generation that has now, in its turn, also grown aged and vulnerable.
