Guaranty Building Collection
<p>This collection of drawings, documents and building fragments documenting Adler and Sullivan's Guaranty Building (1894-1896, Buffalo, NY) was gathered by John D. Randall (1919–1999), who served as building manager. Drawing from materials gathered after a 1955 "modernization" project and a 1974 fire, Randall opened the Louis Sullivan Architecture Museum in 1974. Randall, a Chicago-born architect and author, was a key leader in the successful preservation efforts to save the Guaranty and Sullivan’s Wainwright Building of St. Louis. The Guaranty Building was since been restored.</p> <p><a href="http://digital-libraries.saic.edu/cdm/search/collection/findingaids/searchterm/Guaranty%20Building%20Collection/field/title/mode/all/conn/and/cosuppress/1">View finding aid.</a><br><a href="http://digital-libraries.saic.edu/cdm/search/collection/mqc/searchterm/Guaranty%20Building!buffalo/field/all!covera/mode/exact!all/conn/and!and/order/title/ad/asc">View selected images from this collection.</a><br><a href="http://digital-libraries.saic.edu/cdm/search/collection/mqc/searchterm/Guaranty%20Building!buffalo/field/all!covera/mode/exact!all/conn/and!and/order/title/ad/asc">Find all Guaranty Building digital images.</a></p> <p>Collection access:<br>Collections may be accessed in the Franke Reading Room of the Research Center at The Art Institute of Chicago, by appointment only.
