Description: Central Station: Realizing a Vision by Gerald W. Fogelson, published by Racom Communications 2003 (First Edition)Fantastic volume on Central Station, the abandoned rail yard that became Chicago's largest mixed-use community. Features great photographs and plans of the Near South Side neighborhood and the story of its new construction, as well as vintage archival photographs and history of Central Station and the Illinois Central Railroad. Written by the developer Gerald W. Fogelson. Hardcover, 132 pages, 11.5 x 9".Book is fine, dust jacket very good (small original price label on back), protected in archival mylar (shows some shelf wear)."Central Station was for years a vast parcel of abandoned land and air rights along railroad tracks. Once a thriving receiving yard and train depot, it was the only property that was not included in the famous Daniel Burnham Plan for the City of Chicago. In 1989 the land and air rights were acquired for what grew to be a $3 billion real estate complex and Chicago's largest community. This book tells the story from the perspective of the man who had the vision and led the effort to make that vision a reality. It is a story architects, builders, designers, real estate professionals and anyone with a love of history should read - and a story only Jerry Fogelson could write."
