That’s the Construction History Society’s fearless leader, Brian Bowen, checking out the Adams Room at the Palmer House, where the 2015 Congress will be held. We’re both in town for the semi-regular meeting of the local organizing committee, and spent the morning going over the Palmer House with a fine toothcomb. Suffice it to say that, in addition to being the oldest continually operated hotel in America. our host venue may be the only hotel on the planet with its own in-house historian. A suitable venue, to say the least…

5icch–dates and venue confirmed
Pleased to note that dates and venue for the 5th International Congress on Construction History have been set–mark your calendars for Wed., 3 June-Sun., 7 June 2015 at the Palmer House in downtown Chicago….exactly two years away!
5icch planning
…and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that we had our first real meeting on Sunday night as a local organizing committee for the 2015 Construction History Congress. I think we’re off to a flying start, with some initial decisions made and volunteer groups set up for everything ranging from facilities and tours to social events and fundraising. There are plenty of opportunities to volunteer left, though. We’re targeting a late May, 2015 date. Thanks to the group of eleven hearty souls who showed up and (admittedly after a glass or two of wine), volunteered their time and expertise. Watch this space, and note the hashtag #5icch, which we’ll use to put news about planning out there…
