Schlesinger & Mayer Department Store, 1 South State St (1-19 South State St 1-15 East Madison St), Chicago, Cook County, IL
This commission of 1899-1904 was the last of the large, commercial buildings designed by Louis Sullivan, and is regarded by some as the culmination of the architect`s structural and ornamental art. In 1958, the building was designated a Chicago Architectural Landmark "...in recognition of the fine expression of interior spaces in the serene horizontals of window and wall; the execution of an original system of ornament, and the excellent craftsmanship of its execution in cast iron."
