Today we continue to explore the work of Daniel Burnham. Last week we looked at his work in Chicago. This week we explore his work in Cincinnati, Detroit, and New York. You will all be familiar with his most famous New York landmark, the Flatiron Building. Louis Sullivan was not a fan of Burnham. He felt that Burnham’s attachment to the Beaux-Arts and the Neo-classical architecture styles hindered the progress into a more modern style.
