Louis Sullivan was an influential American architect who lived from 1856-1924 and is considered the "Father of Modern Architecture." He developed the "Chicago School" style and coined the phrase "Form follows Function." Some of his most notable works include the Auditorium Building in Chicago, the Wainwright Building in St. Louis, and the Guaranty Building in Buffalo. Later in his career, Sullivan designed several banks in a simpler Prairie School style, including the National Farmers' Bank in Owatonna, Minnesota.

Chicago’s architecture is famous throughout the world and one style is referred to as the Chicago school.
In the history of architecture the first Chicago school was a school of architects . active in Chicago at the turn of the 20th century .
They were among the first to promote the new technologies of steel-frame construction in commercial Buildings.
A “second Chicago school” with a modernist aesthetic emerged in the 1940’s through 1970’s.
Which pioneered new buildings technologies and structural system such as the tube-frame structure.
Louis Henry Sullivan was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1856. He studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for one year. He worked as a draftsman for Furness and Hewitt in Philadelphia and for William Le Baron Jenney in Chicago. In July 1874, Sullivan traveled to Europe where he studied in the Vaudremer studio at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.

White House: Washington, D.C
Introduction
White House acts as the official residence of U.S. president. It is found in Pennsylvania Avenue Washington D.C. White House was designed using Neoclassical style by James Hoban from Ireland, and building started from 1792 to 1800. However, the architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe started planning for the outward expansion of the building to create two colonnades after Thomas Jefferson moved-in in 1801. The construction of the executive mansion was approved when Congress established the District of Columbia the capital of the United States in 1790. The architect was chosen through a competition of proposals which was won by James Hoban. Since then, the building has undergone the series of renovations (History of White House, 2012).
Architectural description
George Washington laid the first cornerstone of the building in a cornerstone ceremony in 1792. It is a grand mansion in the Neo-Classical Federal style , with details that echo classical Greek ionic architecture. Scottish masons were brought to DC to do the stone work. . The mansion would be covered in sandstone which created a slight problem. The masons were able to troubleshoot the issue by sealing the porous sandstone with a thick whitewash, this is where the white house first adopted it’s name. This would remain the largest residence in the United states until the 1860’s. The major White House façade which is at the north front consists of eleven bays and three floors. Ground floor is obstructed by parapet and raised carriage. This makes the façade be perceived to have two floors (Timelines-Architecture, 2007).
Figure 1.0: Floor Plan
Behind the prostyle portico are the three central bays added in 1830 circa and it serves as a Porte cochere. The four bays have windows that flank the portico. The first floor consists of alternating segmented and pointed pediments. The second floor has flat pediments. A lunette fanlight surmounts the center of the portico at the principal entrance. The sculpted floral festoon is found above the entrance. A balustrade parapet obstructs the roofline (William, 2008).
The façade at the southern comprises of both the neoclassical and Palladian architectural styles. The Palladian fashion has been used to rusticate the ground floor, while the center façade is designed in neoclassical style that projects a three-bay bow. Five bays flank the bow, with the windows at the north façade consisting of alternating pointed and segmented pediments at the first floor. The bow is made up of the double staircase at the ground floor that leads to the Ionic Colonnaded Logia referred to as the south portico. The second floor of the bow is made up of Truman Balcony. The modernized third floor obstructed by the balustrade parapet and is insignificant a.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Chicago School of Architecture
the Chicago School was a school of architects active in
Chicago at the turn of the 20th
century. They were among
the first to promote the new technologies of steel-frame
construction in commercial buildings, and developed a
spatial aesthetic which co-evolved with, and then came to
influence, parallel developments in European Modernism.
While the term Chicago School is widely used to describe
buildings in the city during the 1880s and 1890s, this term
has been disputed by scholars, in particular in reaction to
Carl Condit's 1952 book
The Chicago School of Architecture.
5. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/forum/
Chicago School of Architecture
One of the distinguishing features of the
Chicago School is the use of steel-frame
buildings with masonry cladding (usually
terra cotta), allowing large plate-glass
window areas and limiting the amount of
exterior ornamentation. Sometimes
elements of neoclassical architecture are
used in Chicago School skyscrapers.
Many Chicago School skyscrapers contain
the three parts of a classical column. The
first floor functions as the base, the middle
stories, usually with little ornamental detail,
act as the shaft of the column, and the last
floor or so represent the capital, with more
ornamental detail and capped with a
cornice.

Chicago School of Architecture
The "Chicago window" originated in this
school . It is a three-part window
consisting of a large fixed center panel
flanked by two smaller double-hung sash
windows. The arrangement of windows
on the facade typically creates a grid
pattern, with some projecting out from
the facade forming bay windows. The
Chicago window combined the functions
of light-gathering and natural ventilation;
a single central pane was usually fixed,
while the two surrounding panes were
operable. These windows were often
deployed in bays, known as oriel
windows, that projected out over the
street.

Auditorium Building
Plan
The Auditorium is a heavy, impressive structure externally, and was more
striking in its day when buildings of its scale were less common. When
completed, it was the tallest building in the city and largest building in
the United States.

The Wainwright Building
1890
101 North 7th Street
St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Louis Sullivan & Dankmar Adler, architects
When it was built, the Wainwright Building
revolutionized American architecture. The first two
stories are unornamented except for the large, deep
windows. Uninterrupted piers extend through the next
seven stories. Horizontal panels between the piers
articulate the building's interior structure. Intertwined
ornaments and small round windows form the upper
story.

The prudential Building
The eleven-storey Wainwright
Building represents Sullivan's
first attempt at a truly multi-
storey format, in which the
device of the suppressed
transom taken from the
facade of Richardson's
Marshall Field Store, Chicago
of 1888, is used to impart a
decidedly vertical emphasis
to the building's overall
form...
20. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/forum/
The prudential Building
The two-storey base of the classical
tripartite composition is faced in fine red
sandstone set on a two-foot-high string
course of red Missouri granite. While the
middle section consists of red brick
pilasters with decorated terra cotta
spandrels, the top is rendered as a deep
overhanging cornice faced in an
ornamented terra cotta skin to match the
enrichment of the spandrels and the
pilasters below.
27. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/forum/
The Bradley House
One quality consistent in the spaces of Sullivan's houses from the
Charnley House to the Babson House is their insertion in an
embracing rectangular prism through which the major and minor
axes struggle.
Beginning in 1909 his interior spaces finally freed themselves from
this restraining carapace, emerging in a series of cross-shaped
plans in the two Bradley House projects and the Bennett House
design. These compositions are no less processional, centering on
a space just beyond the entrance point, enclosed in thickened
poched walls, projecting dramatic axes forward and to each side,
manifested externally as juxtaposed volumes.
Sullivan's walls are thick, the windows deeply inset, and his masses
can be marked with cantilevers like those over the porches of the
erected Bradley House—not floating in the manner of Wright's
Prairie Style but laboring with elaborate brackets to express the
work of opening the interior space outward.
33. http://www.frontdesk.co.in/forum/
National Farmers' Bank
"...some of his (Sullivan's) finest work is from these last years, especially the banks in small
prairie towns. The best of these is the National Farmers' Bank...Though much smaller in
scale than the earlier skyscrapers, the bank is just as clearly expressed in its parts. The
main banking room is a single cubical space enclosed by a box, indicated by the wide
stained-glass lunette windows. The base is of red sandstone, with dark red brick walls.
Ornamentation is concentrated in panels, of bronze-green terra cotta, with intricate cast iron
escutcheons at the corners; the cornice is simply corbeled brick courses. To the rear is a
separate block housing offices and shops, a speculative venture by the bank, but clearly
related to the bank in materials and design."
— Leland M. Roth. A Concise History of American Architecture. p183.
"Stand back from the corner of Broadway and Cedar Streets in Owatonna, Minnesota. See
how Sullivan's National Farmers' Bank stands on the corner opposite the park. Massive and
stately—68 feet broad and about 53 feet tall—its silhouette and ornamental patterns strike
golden section rectangles. Great vaulted windows pierce the deep walls, and a row of dark
square windows punctures the base. Strength in concept; surprise and contradiction in
detail.
"The great ornamented mass anchors the lines of street facades, bringing sequences of
jumbled store fronts and one fine, arcaded office building (Sullivan's also) to a monumental
climax."
— Yukio Futagawa, ed. and photographs with Albert Bush-Brown, text. Global Architecture:
Louis H. Sullivan: National Farmers' Bank, Owatonna, Minnesota Merchants' National
Bank, Grinnell, Iowa, and Farmers' & Merchants' Union Bank, Columbus, Wisconsin. p2-5.

Merchants National Bank Building
To honor one of the most influential American
architects of all time on the sesquicentennial of his
birth, the City of Grinnell and Grinnell College will co-
sponsor a series of events highlighting Sullivan and
his work, including lectures, films, music, and guided
tours
As part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of
his birth on Sept. 3, 1856 in Boston, Mass., the tours
will focus on the Merchants National Bank building,
designed by Sullivan in 1913 and widely regarded as
one of his masterpieces. Grinnell buildings designed
by other famed architects, including Walter Burley
Griffin, George Washington Maher, Walter Netsch,
and Cesar Pelli, will also be featured.
