What does the architect who has been responsible for the Columbian Expostion, the Plan of Chicago,, and fifty years of groundbreaking architecture put on his mantel?
DANIEL BURNHAM'S STUDY. THE SHANTY MANTEL. EVANSTON
ANDERS ZORN. PORTRAIT OF DANIEL BURNHAM
AUGUSTUS ST GAUDENS. STUDY OF GRIEF
AUGUSTUS ST GAUDENS. ADAMS MEMORIAL in ROCK CREEK
A pot of pussy willows. (Cincinnati Rookwood? A gift of the Schmidlapp's?) Drawings by the children. A portrait by Anders Zorn. And a sculpture by Augustus Saint Gaudens. Placed with some care. But not too much. Without hint of axis, symmetry or pretense...........
Sitting in that little chair, Daniel would have been dwarfed by his accomplishments... not to mention the fireplace!
