One of the few surviving examples of the small residential projects that
made up the early work of Dankmar Adler and Louis H. Sullivan. The
studied simplicity of the facade anticipates the famous firm's later,
more well-known contributions to modern architecture, such as the
Auditorium Building. This house was built as the residence of Mathilde
Eliel, a schoolteacher who was a cousin of Adler's. |
