Louise Sullivan Building #3 – Sullivan Center

This building is another fascinating design by Louise Sullivan. The building is formerly known as the Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building or Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Store. It is a commercial building located in Chicago, Illinois. It was built in 1899. Louise Sullivan designed the corner entry to be seen from both streets State and Madison. The ornamentation on top is also something I find very cool, like the Wainwright Building. Another cool thing I learned about the building was that the Sullivan Center was initially developed because of the Chicago Great Fire of 1871.
