About this event

Look around and you’ll see how bricks played an important part in building Chicago and the suburbs.

Learn more about bricks when Oak Parker Will Quam, an architecture historian who has led walking tours around Chicago to share his love of bricks, will talk at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, at Oak Park River Forest Museum, 129 Lake St.

Quam’s recently released book, “Fire and Clay, How Bricks Reveal the Hidden History of Chicago,” will be available for purchase and signing by the author.
