A single building--its origins, its life and death: the compelling history of Dankmar Adler and Louis H. Sullivan's Schiller/Garrick Building, compiled by the architect who came to know it during its final days. The Garrick's demolition became the catalyst for the architectural preservation movement both in Chicago and eventually nationwide, as well as the fulcrum for understanding Chicago's role in the development of contemporary architecture.
For six months in 1961, Richard Nickel, John Vinci, and David Norris salvaged the interior and exterior ornamentation of the Garrick Theater, Adler & Sullivan's magnificent architectural masterpiece in Chicago's theater district. The building was replaced by a parking garage, and its demolition ignited the historic preservation movement in Chicago. 0The Garrick (originally the Schiller Building) was built in 1892 and featured elaborate embellishments, especially in its theater and exterior, including the ornamentation and colorful decorative stenciling that would become hallmarks of Louis Sullivan's career. 'Reconstructing the Garrick' documents the enormous salvaging job undertaken to preserve elements of the building's design, but also presents the full life story of the Garrick, featuring historic and architectural photographs, essays by prominent architectural and art historians, interviews, drawings, ephemera from throughout its lively history and details of its remarkable ornamentation-a significant resource and compelling tribute to one of Chicago's finest lost buildings. A seventy-two-page facsimile of Richard Nickel's salvage workbook is tipped into the binding. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
