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

He couldn't get enough of them. http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/370/1878/1600/g-louis.jpg 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. http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/370/1878/1600/g-palmer4.jpg 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. ____________________________________________________________ Always a good call.
