No hint of compromise. Holabird and Roche were masters of their Art. Even more remarkable, more than a hundred years later, the MacArthur Foundation understands that Art and has shown a long term commitment to preserve it. This is real Chicago School. Cornice included.
Hey, I really like this post. It made me proud to be a Chicagoan. Thanks! - Margaret
