Sullivan window detail The only example of the early work of Adler and Sullivan that survives in the Loop, this is a common loft building in its construction and plan, but its facade is a dramatic departure from others of its type. A very open exterior, using cast-iron mullions rather than masonry piers in the central bay, and Sullivan's unique stylized floral ornament give this building its special distinction.
