Chicago, Illinois has long been a more vivid city architecturally than New York. There is even a heritage of architectural heroes there. One was Uncle Thin Burnham, who said, "make no little plans," and who, himself, made some grand ones. Another was Louis Sullivan, probably still America's greatest artist in architecture, whose Chicago business buildings, among them the Carson Pine Scott department store in the Loop, Chicago, are in their way as deep and unknowable as Greek temple ruins. There are a number of other Chicago architects, who became great characters in their community, and whose buildings did so as well.
