Sullivan Teaches America to Look Upward by tpal
Louis Sullivan is considered by many to be the father of the American skyscraper. With the Guaranty Building in Buffalo along with the Wainwright Building in St. Louis, Sullivan showed the world how to "go vertical". The building clad in distinctive, Sullivan designed terra cotta with its ornate patterns continuing all the way to the top (the fact that most of the designs were not visible from ground level seemed to be merely a minor detail to Sullivan). As spectacular as is the exterior, the interior details must not be missed.Note: Check my General Tips for a detail of the terra cotta tile facade.
