This is one of the oldest surviving buildings designed by Adler &
Sullivan, an architectural partnership that helped to transform modern
architecture. The building perfectly illustrates the innovative
qualities of design and ornamentation that became the basis for further
artistic development in such renown structures as the Auditorium
Building and the Carson Pirie Scott department store. Especially notable
is the degree to which the distinguishing features of the Kaufmann
building survive, especially its storefront detailing. |
