The Henry Adams Building (also known as the Land and Loan Office Building),〔(IOWA - Kossuth County )〕 located in Algona, Iowa, was designed by Louis Sullivan in 1912. Although it was not designed as a bank, and has never served as such, the building is nonetheless considered to be one of Sullivan's "Jewel Boxes," a series of banks designed and built in the Midwest between 1909 and 1919. As in the other "Jewel Boxes," Sullivan included many windows, both on the street side and in the skylight that allowed a great deal of natural light inside. The simple massing of this small, rectangular building with its clearly defined structure makes it typical of Sullivan's later work. The same massing, and similar detailing, particularly the entrance had been used by Sullivan's former associates Purcell & Elmslie in their slightly larger Exchange State Bank in Grand Meadow, Minnesota in 1910 and it is possible that this design influenced Sullivan. (Brooks) Sullivan was assisted in the design by his draftsman, Parker Berry, who drew the perspectives. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998, under the name of "Land and Loan Office Building."〔 It is currently occupied by the Algona Chamber of Commerce.〔(Algona.org )〕 Image:LSAdamsBuilding1use.jpg Image:LSAdamsBuilding2use.jpg Image:LSAdamsBuilding3use.jpg Image:LSAdamsBuilding5use.jpg Image:LSAdamsBuilding7use.jpg ==Other Louis Sullivan "jewel boxes"== *Farmers and Merchants Bank, Columbus, Wisconsin (1919) *Home Building Association Company, Newark, Ohio (1914) *Merchants' National Bank, Grinnell, Iowa (1914) *National Farmer's Bank, Owatonna, Minnesota (1908) *People's Federal Savings and Loan Association, Sidney, Ohio (1918) *Peoples Savings Bank, Cedar Rapids, Iowa (1912) *Purdue State Bank, West Lafayette, Indiana (1914) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Adams Building」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
