The facade of this small building was the last commission of famed
architect
Louis Sullivan, and it reflects the careful attention to detail that
characterized Sullivan's work. Elaborate terra-cotta ornament,
projecting above the roofline and framing the large display window, drew
attention to the store and its original function. |
