description: I became interested in Sullivan five years ago while teaching at the University of Chicago. In attempting to discover more about him I found that most of the office records had been destroyed by fire many years age; there were very few available photographs; there was no list of buildings which he had designed; and he had left no family to preserve personal effects which might have aided in piecing out the story. For these reasons the task of reconstruction the story of his life and work was difficult, and the account is not yet complete.
