The senseless bulldozing of the former Michael Reese Hospital campus continues.

There are really two Universities of Chicago. One, north of the Midway Plaisance, is the picture-postcard campus famous for its serene, neo-Gothic quadrangles.

Back in May, I told you about a little building, apparently designed by Mies van der Rohe, at the southwest corner of the Illinois Institute of Technology campus that was going to be demolished to make way for a Metra train station.

In response to today's blog post on the Louis Sullivan bank in Newark, Ohio (see below), William Zbaren sends in his own photos of the bank and notes how Sullivan beautifully integrated his ornament and colorful tile. The second shot, in particular, proves his point. The tile isn't simply a backdrop; it's beautifully incorporated …

Louis Sullivan's jewel-box banks, which brighten small-town cityscapes throughout the Midwest, continue to fascinate architecture buffs, although the news about them is not always goood. Here is a report from Cityscapes reader Arthur Simon, a Chicago M.D., about Sullivan's Home Building Association bank in Newark, Ohio. It's followed by a comment from Chicago's cultural …
