Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building
Louis Sullivan
- Outline
- The American archetype of the high-rise department store, with its stacked homogeneous reference floors. Guidion's "Space, Time, and Architecture" (1941) emphasized the modernist upper elevation, known as the Chicago Frame, but the lower floors are richly decorated to attract people. The first phase of construction was completed in 1899.
