Isidore
Heller Residence, (1896 - S.038) Chicago. Original exterior third floor painted
plaster Sullivanesque capital fragments, two halves. These were removed and
salvaged during restoration. Extreme damage to the plaster and paint, due to
Chicago weather conditions, has been seen as early as
1964. There are three variations of Sullivanesque capitals on the
exterior of the Heller residence. On the first floor, two capitals at the
entrance. A |
|
second version is on the second
floor, in two slight variations. The first atop four square
brick columns, and the second atop six round bricks columns.
The third variation is on the third floor. Six pairs of
smaller colonettes are topped with large, spreading ornamental Sullivanesque
plaster capitals. 12" wide x 5" deep x 7.25" high. Acquired from the Toomey/Treadway
Galleries, Oak Park. |
