Historial and Architectural Landmarks in 1969, bringing with him a nationwide reputation for architectural photography and scholarship in
Chicago's architectural history. He had been a student of photography at IIT's Institute of Design under Aaron Siskind. While documenting the
demolition of Adler & Sullivan's Chicago Stock Exchange Building in 1972, Nickel was killed in a structural collapse at the site. He is the
