Louis Sullivan's buildings standing in Chicago

Adler and Sullivan built more than a hundred projects in fourteen years, and Chicago demolished a great many of them: the Stock Exchange, the Garrick, the Dexter Building that burned in 2006. What is gathered here is what a visitor can still walk up to, from the 1886 Auditorium through to the terra cotta shopfront Sullivan drew in 1922 as his last built work, with the address, the date and the surviving fabric noted for each.
