When music salesman William Krause hired architect William C. Presto to create a new striking storefront for him in Lincoln Square that could attract attention from potential customers, Presto immediately thought of his mentor Louis Sullivan. The special facade, completed in 1922, would turn out to be Sullivan’s last architectural commission. Unlike the majority of Louis Sullivan’s work, the building is still with us 100 years later.
