Daniel Burnham Film in Evanston

Noted architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham made Evanston his home for over twenty-five years, raising his family in an old farmhouse by Lake Michigan. Burnham also designed a number of buildings in Evanston, some of which still stand.

Judith Paine McBrien, producer of the forthcoming film about Burnham, _Make No Little Plans: Daniel Burnham and the American City_, will present an overview of Burnham's work in
Evanston, as well as a short trailer of the film. The film is planned to coincide with the centennial of Edward Bennett and Burnham's 1909 Plan of Chicago. Reservations recommended: 847-475-3410 or jenny-thompson@northwestern.edu Admission: $5/Ehc members: free
