			[[Image:sul2.jpg\|left\|thumb\|350px\|]]SULLIVANESQUE ARCHITECTURE. The term Sullivanesque pays respect to Louis H. Sullivan (1856-1924), one of the most brilliant and imitated architects of the 19th and 20th centuries. As a leader of the Chicago School of Architecture, Sullivan pioneered the design and construction of large-scale, multi-story commercial buildings supported by skeletal steel structures. His brick and terra-cotta buildings were façade-oriented structures noted for their ornamentation. Sullivan's unique style was copied by architects; by the 1890s it gained a popularity that continued for decades. (1)

	Sullivanesque architecture was popular in the United States between 1890 and 1920. In Dubuque the [[BANK AND INSURANCE BUILDING]], now the Fischer Building, was described at its opening as Iowa's most elegant business structure.
