As William mentioned, Louis Sullivan is buried in Chicago's Graceland cemetery
- which is also the location of the Getty tomb that he designed.

That man loved arches!

...and circles too. He couldn't get enough of them.

And here's the memorial that some of his admirers bought for him decades after
his death.

What a disaster!  What a humiliation!  How utterly contrary to his moral,
educational,  and  aesthetic principles to have this clumsy mish-mash serve as
his memorial.

On the other hand -- here is the kind of "Roman temple" (the Potter Palmer
memorial) that Sullivan attacked so vigorously -- and it certainly looks very
good to me.  This is one of my favorite spots in a cemetery with many favorite
spots.

There's nothing wrong with handsome Roman temples -- then, now, or in the
future.
