“Review of *Culture and Democracy: The Struggle for Form in Society and Architecture in Chicago and the Middle West during the Life and Times of Louis H. Sullivan*, by Hugh Dalziel Duncan”

AboutA personal, reminiscence-driven review by architect Richard Neutra of Hugh Dalziel Duncan's 1965 study, comparing Chicago's civic self-image to that of Nuremberg. Neutra recounts his own early inspiration from meeting Louis Sullivan, his unsuccessful effort (with Jane Addams's help at Hull House) to secure a reprint of Sullivan's *Kindergarten Chats*, standing beside Frank Lloyd Wright at Sullivan's graveside funeral in Graceland Cemetery in 1924 where I. K. Pond and others spoke, and his own speech at Chicago's Blackstone Hotel urging that Mies van der Rohe, László Moholy-Nagy, and Walter Gropius be brought to the Midwest.
