<br/><br/>After the fire the Chicago school -- Ideas in stone and steel -- Sullivan in detail: the spirit of the ornament -- Sullivan's last masterpiece. 
<br/><br/> Sullivan was not wholly alone in this endeavor. He was part of a group of innovative Chicago-based architects who, in the closing decades of the nineteenth century, were striking our in bold new directions in both the desing and the constrction of large urban buildings, incluing then revolutionary skyscraper. Sullivan was easily the most talented of thes group, but perhaps evn more important, he was the most insightful: far beyond any of the others, he understood the underlying significance of what the "Chicago Schol" was doing, saw the their work could well amount to a watershed in the history of American architecture.
