Description
In this photograph is the entrance to the Sullivan Center which was named (2007) after its lead architect Louis Sullivan also known as the “Father of the Skyscraper”. This building was originally constructed in 1898 for the Schlesinger and Mayer Store who occupied this storefront for only a few short years when in 1904, Carson Pirie Scott made this location their flagship store. This street corner was such prime real estate (State and Madison) that it was known as the “Busiest Corner in the World”.
The entrance in view is a bronze-plated cast-iron ornamental framework that has stood here in its original form since 1899. The intricate details in this storefront is truly amazing; it is indeed a shame that modern buildings of today lack this kind of beautiful artisan work.
All proceeds will be donated to Chicago's Cornerstone Community Outreach in honor of photographer Richard Cleis, 1965-2021.
