critical mass of chicago architectural building ornament displayed in father donald f. rowe gallery of architectural art at st. ignatius college prep school

photographic survey of historically important american building ornament on display in the two-story father donald f. rowe, s.j., gallery of architectural art, at st. ignatius college prep school, chicago, il.
the critical mass of chicago-centric building ornament is very impressive, but arrangement disjointed. if anything, the layout of ornament was determined by shapes and sizes.

it’s nice to see the ornament timothy samuelson, stuart grannen, and myself gifted the school on display.
