  1. The Louis Sullivan documentary looks VERY interesting! He was a brilliant architect but had a sad end due to alcoholism and very few commissions late in life but he continued to design some gorgeous "jewel-box" small town banks throughout the mid-west. Some of them still remain. Do you know if the documentary will be shown on PBS stations?
