Absolutely gorgeous! Have you ever see the Carson Pirie Scott building in Chicago? Lots of ornamental metalwork in their gate, and it's beautiful.

I have not seen it, but lookie! From Wiki:

"The Carson Pirie Scott name is strongly associated with the historic Carson, Pirie, Scott and Company Building designed by Louis Sullivan" <<< that's today's guy!

I had thought it was him, but couldn't remember for certain--he's probably my fave architect, ever.

I learned shockingly little about architecture in art school, it just didn't capture my interest. I wish I had taken a class or two now...
