THE SULLIVAN CENTER
A 12-story metal structure now housing The School of The Art Institute of Chicago.
This building was constructed by Louis Sullivan in 1899, during the era of the First Chicago School of Architecture. It's one of the most important buildings of early modern architecture: a twelve-storey metal structure, with large openings on the façade and a magnificent wrought-iron entrance, which made the reputation of the two department stores that occupied it, the Schlesinger & Mayer, then the Carson, Pirie, Scott & Company Store. After a lengthy renovation, it now houses, among others, The School of The Art Institute of Chicago.
