“Review of *Carson Pirie Scott: Louis Sullivan and the Chicago Department Store*, by Joseph Siry, and *Louis Sullivan: The Public Papers*, edited by Robert Twombly”

AboutLauren S. Weingarden reviews two 1990 publications on Sullivan: Joseph Siry's monograph on the Carson Pirie Scott (Schlesinger & Mayer) department store, and Robert Twombly's edited volume of Sullivan's collected public writings. Only the concluding paragraph of the review is legibly extractable from this PDF (the middle pages are untranscribable scanned images, see note below); in it, Weingarden situates Sullivan's work as inheriting both a nineteenth-century romantic tradition and a functionalist tradition, both of which gave way to Modernism, and states that the two books together allow a reconciliation between the "romantic and functionalist polemics" that have characterized Sullivan criticism. The review closes with Weingarden's byline (Florida State University) and is followed immediately in the JSAH issue by an unrelated review of Elizabeth Meredith Dowling's *American Classicist: The Architecture of Philip Trammell Shutze*.
