Louis Henry was born on Sept. 3, 1856 in Boston in a family originally from Ireland, Patrick Sullivan and daughter of Swiss immigrants Andrin Francois Liszt. The family had artistic tradition: his grandfather Louis was a little-known Irish painter, his father - a dance teacher, and her mother plays the piano. Irish grandfather, an artist, probably lacked a sense of responsibility, because one day, walking with his son Patrick on the fairgrounds, managed to get lost in the crowd and since then has not made itself felt. His father, Luis, in contrast, was the person responsible and considered it his duty to raise her son a dignified member of society, and so strenuously taught it to the Spartan way of life: rise at 5 am, jogging, throwing cold water at the town pump, jumping and throwing stones. The mother tried to teach it to the world of beauty and called her son in the French manner - Louis-Henri. Luis grew up an energetic and inquisitive child: in Boston, he studied every street and in school quickly learned thieves slang and habits of hooligans. However, sooner originated desire to build homes are not allowed to join Luis on a wrong path.
After a fire in 1871 Chicago was a paradise for architects
At age 16, Louis entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and enthusiastically took up the study of architecture. I studied it for a while, because soon realized that the institute would rather craftsmen who know how to build on a template, than these masters of their craft. Luis dreamed of the Paris School of Fine Arts, but before you go to Europe, he decided to podnakopili experience. He left the institute, having studied only one year, but thought himself already grounded in theory. Proud of his knowledge, Louis Sullivan, was in the office of Frank Furnace - one of the best architects of those days. Mr. Furnace, after listening to Sullivan's story about his success in school, laughed at him, calling him an idiot, and all scientists - donkeys, announced that the knowledge gained at the institute, have no value, and took Louis to work. From Furnace Sullivan learned that there are no "architecture in general" or "building itself, but there are specific tasks that must be addressed with the help of cash.
Another teacher, Sullivan became famous later William Lebaron, Jenny - a retired major Corps of Engineers, who organized the project office in Chicago. Luis arrived in Chicago, which represented at that time a large ashes, formed after the fire of 1871. Scorched desert, which has become the city was a real paradise for architects - one year after the fire in the urban development has been invested more than $ 4 million, which represented at that time astronomical sum, and the designers were overwhelmed with orders. In the future, William Lebaron, Jenny created the first Chicago high-rise building with an external metal frame, and therefore there is no doubt that Sullivan while working in his office not in vain.
