Where Am I Located?





Name the location of this beautiful ornamentation that surrounds a doorway somewhere in Uptown. Looks vaguely Louis Sullivan-esque to us.

  1. Not sure of the location but if I had to guess, I'd say somewhere along Sheridan (lots of terra cotta accented buildings there).

    The terra cotta on this one is most likely by Midland Terra Cotta Company which according to Blair Kamin came out with a series of unauthorized Sullivanesque terra cotta decorations late in Sullivan's life.
